| Party
Round Pagosa!
United Way Gift
Certificates
It's that time again where you get to
eat and we get the $$$! It's the best deal around! United Way's
Party 'Round Pagosa is back! For every $25 dining certificate you
spend at any of the 24 participating restaurants, United Way in
Archuleta County receives $5 at NO extra cost to you! They pay us
to dine out! That's right - all you have to do is purchase a dining
certificate for only $25, choose a participating restaurant to
spend that $25 dining certificate and United Way receives $5 at NO
extra cost to you! Who doesn't LOVE TO EAT OUT!
Think about it, how many times
do you go out to dinner in a month? Those busy nights after a
basketball game or after a long day at work, the last thing you
want to do is cook! But, most importantly, every time you spent $25
at your favorite restaurant, $5 goes to help build a family a house
or provide counseling for a victim of sexual assault. You're eating
for a cause! And finally, 'tis the season...everyone enjoys the
gift of EATING! Instead of another coffee mug or pack of cute
school stationary, buy your kid's teachers a gift certificate they
can use...and really enjoy!
This year there are even more
restaurants to choose from:
Alley House Grille
Bacci Italian
Restaurant
Bear Creek Saloon &
Grill
Boss Hogg's Restaurant &
Saloon
Buffalo Inn Restaurant &
Bar
Café Colorado
Chimney Rock Restaurant &
Tavern

your certificate...I'd be happy to sell you several! You can call
me at anytime at 264-6960 or send me an e-mail to purchase your
dining certificates! You have months to use them...they don't
expire till April 30th, 2011! Please pass this on to all your
friends...maybe they'll get you one!
Happy Dining!

Colorado
Employer Solution Health Plan - Chamber
Meeting
Date: November
18, 2010
Event Description
ColoradoEmployer
Solution Health Plan
The Pagosa Springs Chamber is working with M3, a major insurance
company that is designing programs for large businesses, public
sectors and chambers. The new M3 plan is titled the Colorado
Employer Solution Health Plan and it will be offering a special
group health plan for chamber members only with as few as
two employees participating. If you are a sole proprietor, there
are some other options you can investigate as well.
The
CES plan is a high deductible health plan; however, it is different
in that it is used in conjunction with a Health Reimbursement Account. The CES plan caps
an employer's liability for claims reimbursement by placing an
individual and overall annual limit on the amount available to the
members under the HRA, making it very unique and extremely
competitive. This plan does not limit you to one insurance carrier
or limit your medical provider.
The
informational sessions will be held at the Chamber of Commerce
conference room on Thursday, November 18. The
sessions will be held at 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1:30
p.m. Please RSVP as space is limited. We hope that interested businesses will be
able to attend. Please call the chamber at 264-2360 to schedule
the time that works for you.

Management

Event Description Budget Development and
Management: What you need to know to manage your business by the
numbers.
The other
very important business educational session will be held Tuesday,
November 16. The session will be an expanded Business Bites
luncheon with the continuation of our emphasis this quarter on the
financial. Terryl Peterson, owner of CFO Services in Durango will
be giving us guidelines on developing a budget and cash flow
roadmap and then managing by those guidelines. If you are starting
a business, expanding a business, or trying to figure out if you're
going to have enough cash to get you through your slow season, then
you should attend this class.
The class
will be held on the regular Business Bites Tuesday, November 16
beginning at noon. It will be held at the Community Center. The
class will last a little over an hour, so plan 1 ˝ hours for the
session including lunch time. The price of the class is $20 per
person for chamber members and $25 for non-members. The price
includes lunch, worksheets and lots of valuable
information.
Ms.
Peterson was the CFO for Lore International Institute for 15
years. For the past 18 months she has been consulting for small
businesses with an emphasis on tying financial measures to strategy
and helping companies succeed. She assists the Southwest SBDC as a
consultant and is hoping to bring her knowledge to Pagosa
businesses to help them achieve higher profit margins and better
cash flow management. Terryl offers this session through the SBDC
Leading Edge program and now offers it to the Pagosa Chamber
membership through our Business Bites series. Don't let the slow
season or new business expenditures catch you by surprise.
Spending $20 could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. To
register for the class, please call the chamber at
264-2360.
