The Creative Juice Committee will be meeting on Thursday, April 10, 2008, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. at the Chamber. The featured speaker will be Heather Tolley-Bauer, Done on the Run, LLL.  Click here to view meeting details and directions.  

Paul Mayer, Executive Director, Central Regional Tourism District was the guest speaker at our meeting on March 13th.  Following up on Stacey and Ted's presentation in February, Paul targeted his message with a talk on "Tourism Branding & New Ways to Get Your Message Out."  His thoughtful comments on Points of Consideration for Branding a Business provided the good, the bad and the ugly of branding a business. 

On February 14, 2008, Stacey Dyer, Triple Frog, LLC, and Ted Gingell, Essex Design & Display, made a presentation on branding your business.  Their Checklist of Ways to Brand Your Business will assist you as you grow and will help establish your business in the marketplace.  This informative forum was appreciated by all that attended.

As a courtesy to those who were not able to attend the Creative Juice meeting on January 10, 2008, we included the information about copyright law that was provided by presenter John Giammatteo, photographer and member of the Board of Directors of the American Society of Media Photographers, an international association of publication photographers. ASMP has been one of the strongest standard bearers for artist rights!

A big thank-you goes to John for taking the time to inform members about the ins and outs to protect their hard work and ideas!
