encourage everybody to make sure to include that too as well.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I don't know if this would be of interest, but wanted to share with others as well. I'm looking at possible doing a workshop that helps them build business, with segments on branding, window displays, business plans,
etc, with speakers, along with a little speed dating type of activity where they get to know each other on a more fun level face to face. Thinking throwing in a drawing for a basket full of goodies from the businesses would be fun too.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
That way everybody learns about how to better their business, about each other and have fun!</p>

<div dir="ltr">I'm looking for ideas to get our business owners working together. Activities I can employ to start a "bonding" process. :)
<div>Want to build camaraderie!<br>
<br>
<div>We have a bit of an "us vs. them" mentality among a few.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Remembering that we have only about 6-8 business in our downtown, we lack the ability to have the normal "after hours cocktail parties to loosen folks up. (with so few people).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thoughts for possible training opportunities? </div>
<div>Shared events that are not "contests"? (I've been told by a few they don't like contests, ie: holiday window displays etc).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think it boils down to a bit of education that shows them that the more prosperous their neighbor is, the more prosperous THEY will be. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks much!</div>
