Recessionproof Your Business - June 3, 2009

The Charlestown Business Association and the BHCC Community Center for Entrepreneurship cordially you invite to June 3, 2009 12 – 2PM: "Recession-proof Your Business" Luncheon

The Charlestown Business Association and the BHCC Community Center for Entrepreneurship are sponsoring a Business Lunch and Seminar called "Recession-proof your Business". The event will take place June 3rd, at noon at Bunker Hill Community College in the A-300 Lobby. The session will include lunch and speaker Richard Belofsky who will talk about the power of "network, or word of mouth" marketing. Are you only focusing advertising, marketing and online marketing but forgotten about the importance of traditional word of mouth marketing?

This is a free event and will take place from 12 noon to 1:30-2PM. We will try to keep it short but make the most use of that time so people can leave their businesses over lunch hour to attend the event. We will be serving a free lunch.

By RSVP only. RSVP to http://charlestownbusiness.com/feedback.html Open to CBA Members and guests.

Charlestown Business Association April Luncheon with Senator Gallucchio

The Charlestown Business Association held a great event last week at the Navy Yard Bistro in the Charlestown Navy Yard. Organized by Jessica Cluff a CBA board member, the meeting was one of the best meetings of the year. The Senator is always a pleasure to listen to and talked about many topics such as education and of course the stimulus package. He was very personable and answered some tough questions by the crowd. The food was amazing (as usual) and John Moore, owner, was a great host to the event, as always. 

Here are a few photo highlights of the event...

CBA Tavern on the Water Event Photo Gallery

Jessica Cluff organized an event at Tavern on the Water for the CBA, I promoted and we had 30 attendees. It was a hot night in Boston, but the food was great and so was the CBA crowd as usual. Tavern on the Water provided us with a nice salad, pasta, fresh cooked veggies and steak tips..yummm. It was good. It was nice to see all the MSP guys (and Ginny) out, and of course the many people who always make a point to attend our events. I finally met alot of people I only know from email, Fred Catalano a member for over 25 years and his wife Carol, John Horcher of Ziopharm, and Maureen MacNamara from the Historical Society. I also was the official photographer! I gave Diane the night off. Here is the link to the photo gallery from the event.
