Have you faced an incredible obstacle in business? We want to know that story, too. We want to know how you spice up your life. Do you have an awesome idea to wow co-workers at a corporate picnic? Ever find an unusual way to entertain clients? DROP US A LINE We also want to know your tips on saving money and making your hard earned dollars work for you. Please contact us. Tell us how you survive during lean times—whether it’s deciding when to hire a contractor, financing college for your children or what to do with your pay increase. We’d love to share your tale. Go on. Get connected. Kindest regards, Jasmine Grimm Editor-in-chief, Connections 2 | Connections | January 2009 http://www.nxtbookmedia.com http://www.lancasterchamber.com
