Editor:

On behalf of Living Styles Furniture, I would like to issue a public apology for an image that we inadvertently used in a print advertisement that published in the Aug. 18, 2016 edition of the North Coast Journal.

We have put in place a new approval process to ensure this does not happen again.

For over 19 years, Living Styles Furniture has been supported by a loyal community and as such, we have given back to many local charities and nonprofits.

As part of our response, we will be making donations to local organizations that support victims of violence, sexual assault and rape. 

Rick Breen, Fortuna

Editor's Note: The Journal also published an apology related to the advertisement referenced in this letter on Aug. 25. It can be found at www.northcoastjournal.com.
