GBACC BULLETIN - MESSAGE FROM GBACC PRESIDENT

Greetings!

The GBACC treasurer's report at the meeting last Wednesday showed that we have a comfortable balance in our checking account. The money comes mostly from members' dues.

Here's a question for all members to consider: what can we use that money for that will benefit GBACC as a organization and build our individual businesses?

Please think on this. The money does us no good sitting in the account -- it should be put to work, but, how? That's the question.

One idea that's being kicked around is that GBACC sponsor a tradeshow. Members would showcase their businesses, speakers with information interesting to business owners would be scheduled, door prizes would be offered from businesses and a "special" high item door prize would be given. Refreshments, music and an antique appraiser have been suggested.

Got ideas? Questions? Suggestions? Please bring them to next week's business card exchange at Cripple Creek Antiques or email me or any Board member. Thanks.

Affiliate Members are Welcome!

What is the benefit of joining GBACC as an affiliate member?

Affiliate Membership in GBACC is open to non-profit organizations who wish to have a connection to the business community so that they may be able both to advertise their charitable works to local businesses and to repay the businesses that support their efforts by patronizing them.

Affiliate Members get a reduced membership rate since they can neither vote nor hold office. A list of some of our Affiliate Members is available if you wish to see who they are. Contact our Membership Chairperson, Chris Spielman at CM Bloomers Florist.
