We are wanting to create the environment for these people to get together and have an informal social time, followed by a brief and very focused training opportunity. Our Chamber of Commerce is doing something similar, but it won’t be hosted downtown, and the more I think about it, the more I feel it is important to have in our downtown community. Training opportunities could include topics like: taking quality Instagram pictures, an intro to organizing Quickbooks, or how to create a social media plan.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I would love to schedule a phone or Skype call with those of you who have been through this before to talk about these things in more detail.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks all!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:black;background:none 0% 0% repeat scroll white">Kevin Teater</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:black"><br><span style="background:none 0% 0% repeat scroll white">Executive Director</span><br><span style="background:none 0% 0% repeat scroll white">Beaverton Downtown Association</span><br><span style="background:none 0% 0% repeat scroll white">12625 SW Broadway Street</span><br><span style="background:none 0% 0% repeat scroll white">Beaverton, OR 97005</span><br></span><a href="mailto:kevin@downtownbeaverton.org" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:blue;background:none 0% 0% repeat scroll white">kevin@downtownbeaverton.org</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:black"><br><span style="background:none 0% 0% repeat scroll white">(503)332-5419</span></span><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div id="gmail-m_6149227835540252746gmail-m_3870781286517369657DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
