Main Street Summit
Tickets are on sale now, and response has been great to the launching of the Main Street Summit, happening in the joint offices of BEAHIVE and A Little Beacon Blog, the creators of this event.
BUSINESS TIP: From one of our Roundtable Leaders of the Finance Table, Galia Gichon of Down To Earth Finance: "To save money on bookkeeping, pick one day of the week to catch up on your books. Using QuickBooks Online and syncing your bank and credit card accounts will save you hours of time when entering your expenses. Hiring a bookkeeper is equally important, and by modernizing your systems, you'll save money on their time spent as well."
NEW SPONSOR: Thank you Tom Cerchiara, founder of TEC Land Surveying, for being one of our "Brick and Mortar" Sponsors! Your historic knowledge of this region is boundless!
NEW SPONSOR: Thank you Oak Vino for providing your famous appetizers! We look forward to seeing the menu you create!
Sponsorships are being accepted now from businesses who want to reach and get in front of fellow invested business owners. Please see the website for details and to book.
