I attended the pre-showcase reception Thursday, April 5th at the Ethan Allen Hotel and not only met many friendly and interesting business owners... I also won a door prize! And I thought I was going for the food! (just kidding!) Don't forget APRIL 19th if you market to small businesses or if you are one! Booths are still available.

Welcome to Miracle Ruth Kustoff! She sent us an email after the reception, yeah! Call her at 860.256.7879 or look online at: http://www.knowledgeadvantage.biz

New Equipment = More Miracles 4 You!

Spiral DollarBig news at Miracle: We have 3 new-to-us copier/printers!  This includes two Canon high-speed black & white digital copiers/laser printers and a second Xerox Docucolor 12 digital color press that was a demo model at a Xerox dealership (sweet deal!).  We can pass the savings on to you, loyal customer!  Now was this special purchase possible because we do some printing for the local Xerox sales office? Hmm... maybe! Now we definitely can handle all of your printing & copying needs.

You did know we can do spiral binding in-house now, right? Yes we can, in many colors! Spiral binding creates a very professional presentation or book.  We are doing 1000 books right now for a super nice client (who I hope reads this note!) who sells them with an audio training CD. Stop by our office if you'd like to see a sample.

Dr. Roger Roughley (Greater Danbury Pain Center) had a booth at the "What Women Want" event which apparently went well - were you there, dear reader? What did you think? What do women want? I have no idea. Dr. Roger said there are golf sponsorship opportunities coming up soon - call him for info at 203-775-5003 -SB
 

BCCAt least 35 Brookfield Chamber members & friends (I personally invited everyone I ran into that week and brought DBE members Kevin Doherty (Newtown Mortgage), Bob Banasik & his lovely wife) attended the complementary luncheon workshop Thursday, March 29th 2007 at Franco's Restaurant hosted by John Hooker of AG Edwards. Interesting discussion of SEP vs 401K retirement plans and a really excellent buffet. Nice to see some Miracle Customers out & about at this event - and you know who you are! Did I mention the food was great...? Thank you John!
