I've sent the following to a core group of about 25 persons who responded affirmatively to mailings early last week. In posting it here, it is my aim to broaden the reach beyond those on the original list, which admittedly is incomplete. If you're feeling excluded as an independent business owner, please don't be. We must begin somewhere, and there'll be time for precision as we go along. Thanks.
The Buy Local/NA Independent meeting will be held upstairs at Wick's on Wed., November 17. Come as early as 6:00 p.m. to chat and brainstorm, with official business at 7:00 p.m.
Please share this information with other business owners. As a rule of thumb to get this ball rolling, it is my opinion that New Albany's city limits define participation.
Here is a simple agenda:
