Business and fun combined!

What a great week lies ahead for business and fun! Tomorrow morning, there is the Celebrity Breakfast at Effie's on Park Road where all sorts of notables from the town will come together to wait on tables and raise funds for the Park Rd parade- talk about community spirit! Then at 9:00 there's a roundtable discussion at Panera centering on building stronger relationships with clients. At Prosser Library in Bloomfield at 6:30PM there will be a showing of a documentary on what it's like to try to eat a healthy diet while receiving food stamps. (Personally, I have a gripe when people use their vouchers to purchase 5 cans of Glad air freshener-poison- and disposable aluminum pans-wasteful- but that's a topic for another time). Then on Thursday there is the sensational CT Business Expo at the Convention Center from 9-4 with FREE admission. It's a must-attend for area business owners, those considering launching a business, or anyone interested in what the business community is doing. Trainers, authors, and motivational speakers will be giving free workshops all day. Lots to learn, many people to meet. Then at 6PM our own Patch is hosting a blogging party in Simsbury- great idea! Another event to build community. There's also a networking event at Belle Terrace, but how many places can one be at once?!? Then on Saturday,the Wadsworth Atheneum offers free admission. Also, some beautiful private gardens in Farmington and Wethersfield will be open to the public (fund-raiser) so there is no shortage of events to educate and inspire!!! Let's all get out and do something!!
