As you know, I am an avid tennis fan and have been on the Advisory Board of Tennis Outreach Programs (TOPs) for many years. TOPs is having an online auction this year to support its fantastic programs serving the youth of our community. They have a silent auction going on now, and a live auction beginning at 7pm on the 17th. Check out the website for more information, and happy bidding!
I was looking forward to presenting in person at the 2020 BizFair on September 26. Because of the ever-evolving nature of COVID-19, they have wisely decided to make it a virtual event and have pushed the date out to November 10. I look forward to speaking to entrepreneurs at this event every year, and hope to “see” you all in November! More information will be in our October newsletter.
