OzSBI Second Floor Grand Opening: Success
Our Second Floor Grand Opening started with a West Plains Chamber of Commerce Ribbon cutting. During our short presentation we honored area businessmen that made a difference in our community. Past OzSBI Clients spoke about their favorite benefits of being a client and how OzSBI helped them overcome obstacles. The evening was a success with over 80 people in attendance. Thank you to all who have made the growth of OzSBI and the business community possible.
