Blogging is not Easy!

Gosh, I can’t believe the time has slipped by so fast! Where has the first quarter of this year gone! Here, at the chamber office, we’re putting the final touches on our professional assistants day luncheon. Our eighth one, to be exact! My, how that event has grown and this year, the luncheon will be in Madison County at the Embassy Suites in Ridgeland. Reservations are now being accepted. As we clean up the tables from the luncheon, we’ll be rolling out the red carpet for our Canadian neighbors that will help us facilitate the second Dragon Boat Regatta. And, boy, has it expanded! The Children’s Village is bigger and better. An adult field day has been added for those companies participating in the Regatta. Local restaurants will be dishing out their best. It’s going to be a great outing for company picnics.

While this are annual events, Small Business University will have a panel discussion on April 1 on “Cost Reductions for Small Businesses.” This gathering is held at chamber office. On April 3, Granite Transformations in Gluckstadt will host Coffee and Contacts, a fast-paced, lively business card exchange. Here’s a great opportunity to build up your customer list! Also, in April, BCI will host Donuts and Dialogue at the BankPlus Training Room. The April topic will be “Social Networking and How it Applies to Businesses.”

Check out the Chamber website for details. We look forward to seeing you soon!
