What a year! Not only did we reach the 100-member plateau in our first year of existence but our actual membership is sitting at 111 at this point in time as I write this report. The push was on to hit 120 by year-end. I will let you know at our January meeting if we made that number.

Most members have found contacts within our network to be good for their businesses as we encourage our members to patronize other members wherever possible.

Despite all our efforts, there are still many large and small size businesses that have not been approached. Please help spread the word and let your business friends and associates know about the HRABA and what we have managed to achieve in our first year. You can call me with your leads and referrals. (672-1491) I will approach them directly and not mention any names if that is what you would want.

If they’re not members, they’re really missing out. You can really help. §
