<div>I wanted to applaud for your Main Street work and efforts around the State. I am in need of the Main Street program contact in Corvallis, Oregon. They had developed an outstanding Small Business Development Mini-Loan Fund. The Director had forwarded me their model. It was very well done. I can not find my file copy with strategic concept with process & procedures. NNEBA has received many, many requests over the years. Our Board of Directors would like to review and discuss successful templates. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you contact them and have them forward a document hard copy to us -</div>
