We had a great time at our March Chamber Breakfast with Joe and Hal Davis.  They grew up in Newton and graduated from Newton High School.  The business they are a part of in Des Moines, West End Architectural Salvage, is now the subject of a new realty TV show on HGTV. We had a great time hearing more about their journey to TV and their passion for what they do.  You can learn more About Joe and Hal in this recent article in the Newton Daily News!

Thanks to Joe and Hal and everyone who attended the breakfast, we raised $1500 toward RED PRIDE Community Service Day to support our high school students as they tackle various community clean-up projects on May 1st, 2013.  This breakfast was made possible through generous sponsorships from:
NDN USBANK
DMACC Pizza Ranch Skiff Medical Center
NOTE: You will have other opportunities to donate to RED PRIDE Community Service Day.  Watch for more details. The Iowa Speedway Foundation, Newton Manufacturing, Dodd's Trash Hauling, and Every Business Day Cleaning also donated checks that day.

LINKS to Business Blogs & Resources 
This list changes now and then but these are great resources for anyone running a business or organization, small or large, for profit or not-for-priofit.
  
Co-author of "The Go-Giver", one of our recommended books.  It's all about doing business with those you know, like and trust.  If you are in sales or want to understand the power of networking, this is a great blog.
  
If you want to be remarkable, Seth will help you get started.  We recommended his book "The Big Moo" but he has much more to say.  Great for marketing ideas too.
  
Facebook? Twitter?  You'll find resources, links and articles for all of the all the latest tips and trends in social media.
  
Why do many small businesses fail?  Michael Gerber wrote a book called the E-Myth (The Entrepreneaur Myth - Voted #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs.) to examine that fact, and he's been coaching hundreds ever since.
