Business Women of Blairsville has new name, sponsors Expo

The Business Women of Blairsville is now known as the Tri-State Business Women. What started out as a group of female business owners in Blairsville has now grown into a group of women from Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee-- -all meeting at Cook's Restaurant on Tuesday mornings at 8 a.m. to network, share ideas, and learn from numerous guest speakers with free information on marketing, advertising, and other topics of interest to small business owners.

If you are a female business owner who would like to be a part of this non-profit organization, you are welcome to join us any Tuesday morning. For more information, you can contact Cathy Wheeler at The Vacuum Store at 706-781-1050. We hope to see you there!

The Tri-State Business Women is sponsoring a Business Expo at North Georgia Technical College on Saturday, May 17, 2008. This Expo will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will showcase businesses from all over this area. Admission to this event will be free to the public!

If you are interested in having a booth at the Expo, please contact Cathy Wheeler at The Vacuum Store at 706-781-1050. Exhibitors are encouraged to pass out information, collect lead lists, give away door prizes, and even sell products. Booths are $100, which includes tables and chairs, electricity, and an extensive advertising campaign advertising your presence there. The money raised from this project will go toward funding guest speakers and educational seminars for small businesses in this area.
