Kathleen Burns Kingsbury of KBK Connections has just formed a "Coaching Group for Business Owners" that just started this week and has already improved my business and life. The group is closed for the next 6 months but if there are openings for the June-December group I highly recommend signing up! Way to go Danger Girl!

"I bought it for my mother in law to help her get her parents’ information organized. She says the book is great because it gives her a guide to know what she needs to be asking." She would also like to thank Kate Granigan from C.A.R.E. and Blair Hamaty from Setting the Space for choosing Almar for their remodeling needs. As for me (Lois), I'd like to thank Jennifer Bruni of Mercury Communications for the opportunity to collaborate with her on one of her client’s new business launch – she’ll create all the copy and language, and I’ll create the "look" for all their marketing materials.
