[OMS_MANAGERS] Small Business Networking & Training

[Rae Gordon]

I would love to know about this sminars and mixers.

We are working on a business to business newsletter just for the businesses
to know what's going on (hoping to do a public facing one soon).

I had talked to our city staff a while ago about doing some of this and
they were really interested and had wanted to do something themselves at
some point.  Also, I want to do a monthly mixer between business.  I would
love to talk to you Ann as well and would love to see anything else that
the rest of the list is working on and want to share publicly.
