Members were informed of new plans for ribbon cutting ceremonies for local businesses. Our first ceremony was held Saturday, February 21st, to welcome Poppa’s Haven Coffee Shop at 800 NW Murray Blvd. We will hold ribbon cuttings for new businesses and established businesses at the request of the business owners. Becky Jarvis and Sandy Sahagian will be the contact people for the ribbon cutting events.

Tim Kober, Certified Financial Planner, presented a very informative lecture on helping clients find your business on the internet. He gave several easy fixes to improve websites so that they are more easily found through a Google search. Rebecca Guyot shared information about her business, The Harmony School, for the Ten Minutes of Fame segment.
