Business on the Rocks, and Our Homage to Michael Jackson

Our first Business on the Rocks, with a Twist, was great fun with a really nice turnout of women. Not surprising, though. Extending an invitation to overworked and overwhelmed women (and cute men) to come enjoy cocktails at di Fratelli and talk a little shop — what's not to love about that? Even our special guest had a great time. That's her, my mom, the knock-out gorgeous one in the middle, surrounded by Robyn Shapiro (left), and Laura K and me on the right. My mom's visiting from San Antonio, and no sooner did we land at Barkley Regional Airport (Buy Local), then we whisked ourselves over to di Frats (Buy Local). Speaking of Buy Local, all the women who came — I'm guessing at least 30 — made great contacts, talked informally with one another about bidness and I know of one person who made two sales and attracted a fundraiser to one of her favorite causes. And ALSO on the Buy Local front, a BIG shout-out to Laura K. She's been helping the Chamber with PR and marketing. The other day, the Sun ran a story about the Buy Local program and made special mention of the Buy Local Facebook page, which has been a huge hit. Laura K created that, of course! Here are some random pix — big fun — please everyone join us again 5:30-7 p.m., next Thursday, July 2, at di Frats! Oh, and, in memory of Michael Jackson, RIP, our homage:
