                                                         SBSA IN THE SPOTLIGHT 
SBSA will have a table (booth space) at the upcoming Biz to Biz and Educational Showcase this coming Thursday, November 2nd from 3pm to 7pm. The location of the Showcase is Thompson Delmar Learning facility at 5 Maxwell Drive, Clifton Park (just off Route 146 west of the Northway).

We would like to have as many SBSA members as possible attend the show (no cost to attend), to mix with the attendees and help spread the word about SBSA. This is a good opportunity to wear your SBSA nametags and promote your business as well as the connection with SBSA.

We also have opportunities for members to take some time to be at the SBSA table to answer questions about the Alliance. We will have Alliance handout material at our table.

If you can attend and also spend some time at the SBSA table, please let Rosanne Greenwood, Karen LaVine, or Jim Pfeiffer know.

Look forward to seeing you next Thursday, November 2nd, 3-7pm, Thompson Delmar Learning, Clifton Park!
