For those of you who see the value in our work and cannot attend the meetings, you can always show your support by donating $$ to the Late Night Shops, the Parade or just make a random donation of money or gifts (to help pay for our meeting locations and gifts for our guest speakers). This is one way we can prevent charging membership fees and allowing all business owners to be represented equally. We are a small but mighty team. I know it is not fair, but if we can make our vehicle dazzling, little by little, people will get on board. Thank-you for all your help, past, present and future.
