Get out and VOTE NO on Amendment 4!

Tomorrow is Election Day. We are in the midst of growing our local innovation economy. A surefire way to stop that growth and reduce the number of jobs created is to allow Amendment 4 to pass. So get out and VOTE NO on AMENDMENT 4!

Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with our group LG37 yesterday. I valued the information that particularly pertained to the goal of supporting high school students. Again thank you for your time. Sincerely - Robin

At 10:49am on April 21, 2010, Warren L. Miller said…: Hi Stephanie, Steve, Ann and Booker………

I was wondering whether any of us Marketing Committee members has or is contemplating getting together as Dan suggested prior to the Board Meeting on Monday? I am not having a great deal of success getting my “Investor” colleagues to pay attention and/or follow through on my email invitations to join GAIN-net and Investors Group. I was thinking about an old fashioned snail mail personal letter campaign? Are there any updates re: anything else we’ve talked about doing as it applies to what Dan calls the annual plan and budget? If y’all intend to try getting together, I would try to come up (although my schedule’s pretty tight between now and the weekend).

Enjoy! Best of luck. Please keep me updated on any other Chamber events I can cover for the Chamber.

At 2:27pm on June 25, 2009, Dan Rua said…: Hey Ann, welcome! If you've got any entrepreneur-related chamber events, plz share. I see a bunch of great stuff via facebook stream, but haven't figured a way to pipe ur tech/entrepreneur-specific stuff here for all. If y'all tagged them with a special hashtag (i.e. #tech), I might be able to filter/pipe those events here for all to grow awareness!
