Hi there,
It's Allison here and
in just a minute I’ll share how you can
participate in a mutually beneficial groundbreaking
event in Atlanta called Small Businesses Giving BIG!
On Thursday
October 29, 2009, GreatSmallBusinessAdvice.com,
eWomen Network of Atlanta,
ANI Creative along with other small business owners will host a full
day of business development workshops called “Small Businesses Giving BIG!”
At this event, you will be joined by other business coaches, consultants and other
B2B business owners who are giving away (yes, giving away as in
no charge and for FREE!), revenue-boosting strategies
and tools for creating business success. In our
current economic times, this is sure to be a
once-in-a-lifetime, blockbuster event attracting a swarm of
small business owners in your target market in and around Atlanta.
Who are the attendees?
The
attendees of this event will be
consultants, coaches, trainers, speakers, financial
advisors, and other solo entrepreneurs who are looking to
grow their businesses. Unlike other business
development conferences of this kind, attendees will not
be charged a monetary fee. They will register by
donating specific quantities of food, toiletries, and
other supplies needed by the benefiting charity, My
Sister’s House. This event will be a non-stop
cycle of giving to benefit all!
Based in Atlanta, Georgia,
My Sister’s House is a division of Atlanta Union
Mission. It is a charity that caters to women in transition
including single parent families headed by mothers.
They provide emergency shelter, meals, personal care
items, and clothing to those in need. They also provide
life skills and parenting classes and they serve
numerous counties here in Georgia.
