Last night the GBA (Groton Business Association) had their member meeting which we do every other month. We had a great turn out (22) and lots of great information was shared. We had two guests, from Work Force New York. They shared many of the programs that are available and it felt good to know that there are things available for our local kids to receive job training and mentoring! They also shared some tax benefits for business who employ their clients. I am going to look into the youth program for help building my raised medicinal herb garden this summer. Everyone wins, I get the help I need and some lucky youth gets the experience they may need to be employed at one of our local landscaping businesses!
The other new opportunity for local businesses is to be interviewed by a lovely young woman named Abby who works for the Learning Web, and will interview GBA members and write up short "bio's" that will be listed on our new website - YES, I said NEW GBA WEBSITE!!
Keep your eyes open for much news about GBA in the near future!
Live, Love and Laugh,
Janet
