We're back online from a short newsletter vacation due to some short term changes in our time demands, thanks for your patience!
Weve asked for ways youre working together with other local businesses to prosper despite an economically challenging environment. We're putting that in action ourselves with an exciting new partnership with the Greensboro Merchants Association. This new deal provides many Triad businesses with the opportunity to save between $50 to $100.
Click Here to find out more.
Join the Triad movement where local businesses are working together - what are ways you can partner with your clients, vendors and colleagues to pool your time and resources for mutual gain?

At first, Daisys stubbornness and cultural prejudices cause much friction, but Daisy, Hoke and her son, Boolie, grow over the span of 25 years, during the tidal waves of change in the American South. We watch as these two seemingly very different people discover how much they truly have in common.
