Wow, where did March go? I am happy to announce my crocuses are up and now that the snow has gone, for sure this time, the birds are singing happily!
A big huge welcome to the newest bank in town, CIBC. The new branch, located at Garibaldi Way, is now open for business and invites customers to a barbecue (by donation) on Saturday (March 29). There will be special offers, lots of fun for the kids and all money raised will go to B.C. Children’s Hospital. Carmen Uncao, the branch manager, comes to us from North Vancouver, and is excited to be in Squamish…
Welcome to another new business in town, LeeLee’s Grooming Lounge, located on Industrial Way in the Squamish Business Park. Be sure to pop in and say hi. They offer full grooming services for your furry friends, as well as a self wash area. They can be contacted at 604-892-BARK…
If you are like me and enjoy going through the car wash not simply to wash the car, but to look at the pretty colours, well, guess what? You can buy a $100 Sea to Sky Car Wash gift card for only $75. Don’t confine your spring cleaning to the house — it’s a great time to clean your car as well! Wash away winter’s wear and tear and get that salt off of your paint…
There is a relatively new networking group in town, Network Now Squamish. The group was formed by Michelle Kelly, who had explored some other networking groups but found that there was never really the right fit for her business attitude. She wanted something more in line with her style: a supportive group of like-minded business people who were determined to focus on doing business in their own backyard, in cross marketing, in thinking outside the box and supporting one another. A key component to the group would be that there could only be one person representing each industry sector (in order to maximize the referral opportunities).
So, she decided to start a new group: Network Now Squamish. The group meets the third Thursday of the month for breakfast meetings, approximately one hour long. There are currently 20 members in the group. If you are interested in joining, send an email to Michelle Kelly at Essential Mortgage Co. [email protected], call (778) 987-1062 or go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/1415247728710365/ and make a request to join.
Everyone is invited to their “Showcase Event” at The Living Room on April 10, with doors open at 6:30 p.m. It will include a fashion show at 8 p.m. from Stylezone Fashions, and the other group members will be there to spotlight their particular businesses and offer the people of Squamish a comfortable casual way to connect with them. As many of the businesses in the networking group don’t have storefront locations, this is a great opportunity to connect with the public. Be sure to check out this fun little mini-trade fair!
