Small Business Saturday committee
It's time to start planning our Small Business Saturday event that happens every year, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year it will be on November 25th. As this is a National event, we want to make sure that we can get our small businesses involved early with as many businesses participating as possible. It's important for our community to SHOP on Small Business Saturday with our local small businesses and we must start early to advertise for it. We are looking for any of our businesses that would like to be on our Shop Small committee to help give us ideas, suggestions and volunteer to help us make this one of the best. Our first meeting will be on Thursday, July 20th at 8:30a.m. If you are interested in helping us and want to be a part of this great event, please email me and let me know. I'll make sure to add your name to our list. SHOP SMALL - HELP OUR BUSINESSES TO GROW!
