Community Capital & Finance Seminar and Networking Event

Posted by on August 13, 2004

[posted from Sustainable Business Network newsletter]

Join the Sustainable Business Network for a seminar & networking event featuring Community Capital & Finance. We?ll discuss how money circulates in our region ? and how we can direct more of it to locally-owned businesses that value community and the environment. This seminar will feature a panel of leaders who run banks, loan funds, business development centers and other financing organizations ? with a chance to talk one-on-one with these folks at the wine & cheese reception.

The seminar will be followed by the ?Dance of the Ripe Tomatoes? at the White Dog Cafe ? a celebration of local farmers with dinner & dancing. This is a great opportunity to enjoy fresh local food and beer, and dance under the stars to live Blue Grass music, while helping to raise money to support SBN ? all proceeds will go to SBN and the Fair Food Project. Reservations for the Dance of the Ripe Tomatoes must be made through the Cafe.

Save the date! More details coming soon.
