Greetings!

Did your first month of the year go as planned?  It went by fast for me, but was filled with purpose and passion.  It's great feeling the excitement a new year brings, and hearing about the plans of other business owners. There is an optimistic spirit amongst our local business community, and I'm grateful to see, hear, and experience that. 
 
I hope you'll join me for our Lunch and Learn series or cocktails and connections events this year.  Check out the entire 2011 Event Calendar here. Details of the next few events are listed below.

Check out the article links below for the latest business building tips and news that can impact your business.  For more information, check out our weekly blog, published every Tuesday.

Let me know how I can be of help to you this year.
Sincerely,
 
Lori
