Save this date! At our annual meeting on Tuesday November 15th we will have three guest speakers focusing on what is happening in Michigan at the local movement, what is happening at BALLE, and marketing your business. No matter what you do, you will find this informative! Paul Sagniaw, co-owner of Zingerman's and a BALLE board member will inspire us with an update of what is happening in the local movement right here in Michigan. Plus, The Whole Brain Group will share how social marketing can help your business. Finally, we will have re:group discuss how to brand your business identity. There will plenty of time for questions, so be sure to put this on your calendar. The meeting will be held at Zingerman's Events on Fourth in the former location of Eve at 415 N. Fourth Ave. in Kerrytown Ann Arbor. Our doors open at 6 p.m. with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m. Stop by for a plethora of food and beverages from Think Local First members.
