Cash is King: Cash Management Best Practices

Cash flow management is key to success for many new and growing small/mid-sized businesses. Cash is the fuel that makes a SMB work; hence, these businesses should be managed with a primary focus on cash/cash flow rather than income or other financial measures.

Fundraising Effort Still Needs Support...

The Chugiak Area Business Association (CABA) has partnered with various other community organizations to include the Chugiak-Eagle River Chamber of Commerce in a fundraising effort to purchase a new sound system for the Harry J. McDonald Memorial Center.

Please consider and support the joint effort to raise $20k to replace the derelect 34 year-old existing system. NOW is a good time for the community and Harry MacDonald USERS to come together and GET ER DONE for the upgrade to our million dollar facility.

If you would like to donate or have any questions please contact Debbie Rinckey at  executivedirector@cer.org  or Finis Sheldon at  finis@mtaonline.net .
