A quick reminder that our networking group, Business Builders Network, will be meeting this Thursday (and EVERY Thursday)—in person—at Townee Square Restaurant, starting at 7:30.  Please try to get there a little early so that everyone can order breakfast with minimal disturbance to the meeting.   Please remember—the only requirement to attend is that everyone orders and pays for their breakfast---after all, it is a restaurant.  Lets keep in mind that Townee is not in the business of hosting meetings, and they do not charge for us to use the room for our meetings.  There will be a $10 “cover charge” for any person that doesn’t order breakfast.  Remember to invite your friends/colleagues to join us. If you attend at least semi-regularly, and are interested in being one of the presenters, please contact Ray or Yale to schedule your presentation.   Presentation slots are open 3/5 and beyond—so reserve your time slot quickly.  Presenting opportunities are reserved for those that attend at least semi-regularly—we do not bring in outside presenters. Please note—no political speeches or campaigning. Townee Square Restaurant is at 508 N. Milwaukee Ave in Libertyville.  Parking is available on the street and behind the restaurant---plus there is the municipal parking lot behind the buildings on the west side of Milwaukee Ave.  I look forward to seeing you there.  Have a great week If, by chance, you are receiving this email more than once each mailing, or if you want to be removed from the list, please reply and let me know the email address you would like to have removed from the list.     Ray “The PromoMan” Billock, CAS Perfect Promotions Products that Mean Business...for You!
