New Plan Ahead Events Franchise Opens in Rochester Hills
|
Rochester Hills, Mich. (December 18, 2009) - Plan Ahead Events, a full service event management company, recently opened a new location in Rochester Hills under the ownership of local resident, William Bowers.
Prior to becoming a Plan Ahead Events franchisee, Bowers was president of a local manufacturing firm, where he worked for the past 14 years. Before that, he worked as clubhouse manager for a private country club and as a sales manager for a large convention hotel. Bowers is a member of the Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce, Troy Chamber of Commerce, Auburn Hills Chamber of Commerce, Meeting Professionals International (MPI), Knights of Columbus - Rochester Hills and volunteers as a youth sports coach and board member.
"Discovering Plan Ahead Events came at a perfect time in my life because like so many others in today's world, I was in a career transition phase," says Bowers. "Plan Ahead Events offers me the opportunity to perform work for which I have a tremendous passion. Taking a client's vision and being able to translate that into a successful and memorable event, brings me great satisfaction."
Plan Ahead Events is the first home-based franchise in the corporate meetings and events industry. It provides full-service management and planning for meetings, conventions, trade shows, special events and incentive travel. The company is part of United Franchise Group (www.unitedfranchisegroup.com), a specialist in franchise development and services.

| MHS Pet of the Week - Quinn |
 Meet Quinn, a 12-week-old female Rottweiler mix who is looking for a loving family to settle down with! At just 17 pounds, she still has some growing to do. Quinn is a friendly and happy little girl, who will be a fantastic companion for her new family! She should get along well with children of all ages, and since she's just a pup, would greatly benefit from some training classes where she learn her manners and bond with her family. Her adoption fee includes sterilization surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations and much more. Please visit or call the Michigan Humane Society Rochester Hills Center for Animal Care at 248-852-7420 and provide Quinn's Pet ID number, A09108456.
