The Business Directory that the Committee developed was the main topic of discussion: the objective of the booklet; the setbacks; changes. Chris Hundley suggested that the directory be pocket-size, and Teri Brandt thought a colourful, glossy booklet would be better. It was decided that the Committee will reprint the current Directory, with any corrections we have received, including a new page on which business people can revise their listing. Once these have been distributed to every known business in the Committee's area, the final draft will be printed April 1, 2008.

An interactive website for the Almaguin area was discussed, possibly for the future, where visitors could see video of the area, and learn of upcoming events.

Gary  would like to plan an AGM for the the weekend of May 10, with possibly a dinner, golf tournament, door prizes and more.

Gary McLaren offered to contact the Business Centre to possibly do a presentation for the Committee in the future.

Teri Brandt will get a representative from Parry Sound Employment to talk about hiring incentives available from the government for employers.

The next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 19, 2008, at 7 p.m. at the Sundridge Community Centre. Meetings are planned for the third Tuesday of each month, up to and including April.

Meeting ended at 8:45 p.m.
