I'm really hoping to see a lot of you at our next meeting! We have been asked by many people for the chance just to ask questions! This is it! Spend an afternoon asking people who see the same things you do what they are doing about them! You can even pick my brain! (hmmm, maybe I'll bring some tweezers to help you out!

Evening Meeting and Program, 7 to 9:30 PM
“Speaking to Local Groups
Grow Your Business by Becoming the Expert ”
Cliff Wilson, CPF - NEPPFA Vice President
Talk to Art Societies, Historical Societies, Garden Clubs and many other organizations. Often, they pay you to talk. Then they bring you business and refer others to you.
You can’t go wrong!
This is the kind of marketing everyone can afford to do and should be doing.
Cliff will cover how to be comfortable talking to a group, how to gear your topic to a specific group and how and where to acquire appropriate props and displays.
