Dear fellow bakers and friends,   

 

I hope this newsletter finds all of you working hard on the many occasions that are celebrated in the month of June. With the summer months fast approaching us, we are busy with graduation, wedding, and other occasion cakes. We hope to make our customers' special occasions a bit more special with a custom made cake.

 

I also hope that you'll use the resources of our association by reaching out to a fellow bakery owner or an allied member. It is through this networking that our group's members have been so successful; helping one another is a foundation for success.

Have a great summer,

 

Joe Gifoli, President

This Information Is Not Legal Advice

This newsletter provides information about the law and taxes designed to help users safely cope with their own legal and regulatory needs. But legal information is not the same as legal advice -- the application of law to an individual's specific circumstances. Although we go to great lengths to make sure our information is accurate and useful, we recommend you consult a lawyer or/and accountant if you want professional assurance that our information, and your interpretation of it, is appropriate to your particular situation.
