Get Free Publicity for your Business
When you contribute a product* or service* valued at $50 for SCORE to have raffled off at the Canandaigua National Bank (CNB) Expo on May 21st, you'll be able to showcase your company and your offerings. CNB has asked all vendors to contribute items for them to raffle off. Since everything SCORE does is free or costs less than $50, we thought we'd make this a win-win! We're offering this opportunity to our clients so that you can get some FREE PUBLICITY. There isn't much time left, so if you're interested please contact Julian Yudelson directly at Julian@Yudel.com or 473-8385.

In 2003 Cindy Corrigan opened the Art Stop with a partner, another Mom with small children. She expanded the business adding more space as well as additional services. In 2007 she bought out her partner, who had the accounting degree while Cindy was the artist. It became critical for Cindy to learn the accounting and marketing side of the Art Stop's business.
The Art Stop is a fine art supply store located in Webster for artists and students. They also offer art instruction, creative birthday parties, custom framing and have a gallery of local artists.
