Paul Guglielmo: Rotary Exchange Student to Italy
|
Join us Tuesday, February 21st at the Floreano Riverside Convention Center where our guest speaker will be Paul Guglielmo. Paul, 33, is a radio personality heard daily on The Brother Wease Show on Radio 95.1. He along with his wife Ryann, is also the founder of Guglielmo Sauce, a locally produced line of pasta sauces available in grocery stores in our area.
Paul's first real adventure was as a Rotary Exchange Student to Italy. You will see and hear all about his year abroad and what led up to it. You will also hear first hand about how that adventure was the catalyst for any and everything he has accomplished since.
Our lunch menu will include some of the Guglielmo Sauce. |

B2B Breakfast Meeting
|
 Join us Wednesday, March 8th at 7:45 a.m.
in the Rotary Office Training Room for a breakfast meeting hosted by the B2B Committee. Guest speaker Ami Kassar, a Vistage member, is the founder and chief executive officer of Multifunding LLC, a Philadelphia-based consulting firm that specializes in helping business owners across the United States develop creative and cost-saving alternatives for their business debt needs and structure.
Kassar has been involved in business finance for two decades. He has advised the White House, The Treasury Department and The Federal Reserve Bank on the state of the financing markets. He writes a weekly column for inc.com and is frequently quoted in the national press on various small business issues.
Kassar will discuss how business strategy and financing strategy are intertwined. Often CEO's get stuck because they don't understand where their business is in a life cycle, what is inhibiting growth, and the best possible financing strategies at the right time.
Space is limited so we ask that you please register by clicking on the link below. The cost is $10 per person.
