Dear Reader,
Last week, we sent out an email that outlined all the things you can do to enjoy the Univest
Grand Prix.
Now we are back to our normal beginning of September email overloaded with all the meetings, events and opportunities scheduled in September.
Of course, as soon as our readers see this list, they will send us another round of emails of activities we missed for a mid month email.
We will also send out a post-Labor Day email with last-minute information about participation in the Univest Grand Prix.
Our Media Gurus have been collaborating with the Sparta Cycling Media Gurus on maximizing the social media options. See the last box at the end of this email for details.
You will be able to follow the race activities on your smart phone by text message or on our website or on Facebook or by Twitter. We are still working out the details. Stay posted.
In the mean time, open up your calendar and start adding the following activities that will benefit you, your business and your family.

Monthly OUTDOOR concerts!
 Main Street Java brings great night of music out
back on the rocks. Bring your own lawnchairs, invite friends and relax
with some entertainment provided by Dan Harney and Five Mile Fall!Dan Harney has been writing songs and performing for the last 8 years. His latest recording "Breathing October" is a collection of songs about the struggle for faith in his life. Rising
up through suburban Philadelphia is Five Mile Fall. This melodic rock
band formed in the fall of '09 is quickly finding their place in the
Philly music scene. Their music explores the human condition in all its
beauty and brokenness. Soaring vocals and melodic guitars accompany the
solid grooves laid out on their tunes. *Note: In Lieu of Java on the Rocks there will be no music Friday night this week* |
