John Giovanazi, Arundel Federal Savings Bank talked about Small Business Loans and what to expect from your lender. John had a member of the Small Business Association there to answer any questions the members had. It was a very informative meeting.

The dog days of summer are well upon us already. I’ll keep my message short this month, because I am sure you would rather enjoy your cold beverage of choice instead of reading a long drawn out message from me.

This is the time to dig down deep and make things happen for your business. It is easy to be on vacation mode this time of year and coast through the summer and chalk up a slow quarter to summer vacations. But it is also a great time to dig deep, build relationships and move your business forward. Before you know it, the 4th quarter of 2016 will be upon us and the time to plan for a strong finish to the year is now. So while you are out enjoying the summer, like we were at our annual crab feast at Kurtz’s beach a few weeks ago, or like we were at the 2nd annual Eastern District National Night Out on August 2nd, or at the monthly meeting held on August 3rd at Cheshire Crab, make sure you take the time to solidify your relationships with the community and with the other great business leaders of the PBA. These relationships will help your business grow and become and help it become an established and respected part of the Pasadena community.

So finish your summer strong, build great relationships and have a great 4th quarter of 2016. See you soon.

FLAG COMMITTEE, CO-CHAIRS:
Lisa Hart, Arundel Federal  and Sandi Parrish, PBA Executive Director

We would like to say “Thank You” to BRIAN CONRAD from Edward Jones who has volunteered to be in charge of raising and lowering the Rt. 100 Veterans Memorial Flag. The flag sits on County property; we are notified by President Obama and Governor Hogan when to lower and raise the flag. This has become a full time job between the mass shootings & terrorist attacks.  We would also like to thank Scott Ellis – ACE Hardware, Garry McWatters – Arundel Federal; Dick Parrish – Dick Parrish Design & Jerry Nicklow – Huff Insurance for their assistance this year. So when you’re driving past the flag and you see Brian out there taking care of it – give a beep to let him know that you appreciate his service to our community!

This year's crab feast on Wednesday, July 13 was another big success!

Attendees enjoyed a feast of delicious, heavy crabs as well as a spread of wonderful food from the culinary masters at Kurtz's Beach.

A huge thank you to our event sponsors - Edward Jones Financial Advisor, Coffee News Maryland, Gab Communications, Idea Weaver Promotions, Ace Hardware of Lake Shore, Arundel Federal Savings Bank, Frank & Bills Auto Collision and Huff Insurance. We would also like to thank John Mason and his staff at Kurtz's Beach for another great event. Mark your calendars for next year's crab feast which will take place on Wednesday, July 12!
