Valley Small Business Alliance Kicks off in High Gear

As the interest in the Valley Small Business Allicance continues to grow, we have decided to kick the whole operation into high gear.  If you are presently a business "owner", consider this as a formal invitation to attend the Valley Small Business Alliance group that will meet the 2nd Wednesday of each and every month at 7:00AM. Our very first meeting under the new format will begin at 7:00AM, Wednesday, November 11th at the Village Inn on Route 11 South of Harrisonburg.  At this meeting, we will discuss the objectives of the group as well as introduce you to the web blog as a medium for the exchange of ideas.


This will be a very unique group of people in that they will all be small business owners in the area that will meet once a month, exchange ideas and network among themselves as well as to listen to a speaker that will focus on some area of small business. If you have not already been formally invited, consider this as your invitation.  All we ask is that you send an email to r.halterman@murphybusiness.com by the Monday preceeding that Wednesday's meeting.  By the way, the cost of your breakfast including gratuities will be $9.

At present, we have commitments from Kenny Brooks, JMU head basketball coach to speak about motivation at the December meeting, Helen Modly, a world known financial planner and writer for the Wall Street Journal as well as Forbes, etc. and Emmett Hanger will be joining us as a speaker in April.  We also invite you to turn in names to Wayne and I as possible speakers.


We look forward to seeing you there and feel sure you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
