YPL's Quote of the Month
In the face of this absurdity, life is too precious a thing to permit its devaluation by living pointlessly, emptily, without meaning, without love, and finally, without hope.

is Changing its Name
It seems as though there is not a business journal or magazine that does not have a new company announcing its plans to re-brand--because they are global and want the world to know.
The National Business Travel Association (NBTA) will change its name next year to the
Global Business Travel Association (GBTA).

YPL and Chicago's Entrepeneurs' Organization are a Perfect Fit!
YPL recently had the honor to sponsor the transportation for the elite Entrepeneurs' Organization (EO) annual boat cruise! With approximately 125 EO Chicago Chapter members attending, they were delighted to board the Anita Dee, feel the lake breezes and network the evening away!
The event began when YPL limousines and buses picked up the group from their workshops and transported them to Navy Pier. As illustrated in the photos, members enjoyed the casual
conversations (or in-depth business talk) along with Chicago's silhouetted skyline. To cap off the evening, EO members had the opportunity to see and hear glorious fireworks. The view and sounds were spectacular! 
Two Chicago Chapter EO members shared thoughts on their Anita Dee/YPL experience:
"Having the YPL limo transportation to pick up our sponsor guests was a wonderful way to start out the evening of networking on the Anita Dee boat cruise, our annual summer event for EO Chicago."
Julie Northcutt, founder and CEO, Caregiverlist, Inc.
"I wanted to thank you for the lovely limo ride last Wednesday; I felt so CHIC! The guys all remarked on what a nice car it was. I was impressed by our driver who was alert, responsive, classy and super engaged--not a small thing in this business environment. I hope that it was a fun and productive evening for you, Tracy, and that lots of business will come your way. Thanks for playing. I copied James, as he should hear about how classy and professional your services are!"
The Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) - for entrepreneurs only - is a dynamic, global network of more than 7,500 business owners in 38 countries, forming 118 chapters. Membership is by invitation only. Founded in 1987 by a group of young entrepreneurs, EO is the catalyst that enables entrepreneurs to learn and grow from each other, leading to greater business success and an enriched personal life.
YPL and EO are pleased to present a success story of one dedicated Chicago entrepreneur. Andrea Herrera is an amazing woman. She is founder and owner of Amazing Edibles Gourmet Catering, a Chicago-based company, and member of EO. Founded in 1995, Amazing Edibles' staff has grown to eight full-timers, including an operations manager, new executive chef, sous chef and marketer, plus seven part-time workers.
