PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Patrick Emmet from Business Valuation, Inc was our guest speaker last week and he provided some great take-away points that can squash the value of a business. In Patrick's talk, he expounded upon 38 Things That Can Kill the Value of Your Business. If you weren't here you missed a good talk.
On a different note, please see below for the details regarding Crump Kirby's funeral service. His contributions to this organization have been hugely significant. I echo the sediments of our membership when I say that Crump will be sorely missed. Please keep his family in your prayers.
Steve DeSorbo
2018 SBMC President

MONTHLY TABLE TALK
Remember that we are holding our monthly "Table Talk" every third Wednesday of the month. At these meetings, we will forgo having a Spotlight Speaker and instead use the time to facilitate networking and business growth directly from your lunch table, using a set of structured discussion questions. Our next Table Talk will be Wednesday, February 21.
