From the

Towne Lake Business Association

Happy Holidays to all of you and your families from all of us at the Towne Lake Business Association (TLBA). December wraps up another year and brings renewed optimism for the new year.

Many people I spoke with this year were trying to recover from falls within their personal financial portfolios and were cautious about spending. This made it tough on many businesses who struggled this year. However, I feel it has made us all more conscious of our customers' needs. We focused on serving them better by going the extra mile, educating them on the difference between value and price, and training our staff to meet their needs. These are the principles the TLBA strives to achieve through our monthly "Lunch 'N' Learn" workshops. As a result, I feel we have all become better businesses.

The topic of our November workshop was "Tax Planning for the Small Businesses" We want to thank Samantha Maxwell, CPA, of Post & Associates, LLC for leading the workshop.

We will host a Holiday Gala at the Golden Cafe Chinese Restaurant in lieu of our Lunch 'N' Learn Workshop in December. All members and those interested in the TLBA are invited to attend and join in our celebration.

As always, we thank you for supporting our local businesses - particularly during the Holiday Season - and thus, our Towne Lake area community, and for "Keeping Towne Lake Dollars in Cherokee."

Finally, we want to thank all our military personnel, particularly those in our own community, without whom we would not be able count our blessings this Holiday Season. We are fortunate to live in such a great country - we are truly blessed. And as we tackle the stressful shopping days ahead, don't lose focus. It's really all about the people you care for and just how much they mean to you.
