Here we are in March already and as we approach the anniversary of COVID-19 taking over... I'm not sure there's anything more to say than that... it's been a very long year but hopefully, we are on the home stretch.
We are looking forward to the month of Quintelicious - great menus from our local restaurants AND really looking forward to sharing the stories of our Cornerstone Award recipients on March 26. If you've not attended the President's Dinner before - this is the year to join us in your favourite cruise wear from the comfort of your living room!
I had the pleasure of reconnecting last week with a couple of our past recipients - Kristin Crowe (Alarm Systems), our very first Cornerstone Citizenship awardee and Wilf Wilkinson (Wilkinson & Co), who we recognized with the Cornerstone Founder award in 2020... they are each featured guests as part of our new community program on YourTV as we talked about the challenge of business, what it's like to grow and be a part of this wonderful community. The full shows are only available to subscribers of YourTV (sign up now!) but if you're interested in a clip of our very first episode, check out the link below.
One of the most important parts of this event are the inspiring stories we share of our members who have made their marks as citizens, founders, mentors and visionaries. Their work has helped Belleville become what it is as a community and this deserves to be celebrated. In a year when staying alive counts as success - these stories of perseverance and fortitude are meant to remind us all that it takes a special kind of person to build a business - and that if you're reading this now, you are a part of it.
We are suggesting this event will be the safest 2-hour tour you'll ever be on - some will get the reference to the "three hour tour" that landed a group of people on a deserted island - others will just think we're being safe for COVID's sake - either way, you're invited to join us for what we hope will be the best virtual event of the year! (Mostly because we hope we can do this live before our next one!)
The best part of March is that even when the wind is howling and it's -20, we know it's going to end soon! And let's embrace it coming in like a lion, we could certainly use a lamb moving into spring.
