Downtown Parking Meeting
Our Chamber recently called a meeting of city and county officials to discuss some downtown parking challenges. With the basic goal of saving the best and most convenient parking for our customers and clients, this team will continue to evaluate our current parking plan while the Chamber works to help business leaders steer their employees to "off-the-square" parking options. Special thanks to all who attended including Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott, Supervisor Denny Stevenson, Mayor Mike Hansen, Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich, Fire Chief Jarod Wellik, and City Staff Keith Laube, Erin Chambers, and Bryan Friedman. Watch for more information and feel free to contact the Chamber if you have any input or interest in addressing the issue. In the meantime, save the best parking for customers, clients and guests!

| 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.
