President's Message - 9/18

September 12, 2018

Dear Fellow Members,

As the summer is quickly drawing to a close, I do hope that business was good and you are gearing up for what we hope will be a strong holiday season. Our August meeting at Dave and Buster’s was nicely attended, and it was wonderful to see some new faces at our breakfast meeting. Those who were in attendance were enthusiastic about some of the topics that we discussed, including the scheduling of our general meetings at different times throughout the year and suggestions for both networking opportunities and brief business seminars on topics of interest. I would encourage you all to reach out to the office if there is anything in particular you'd like to learn about to help grow or improve your business.
