GAPSBN - October Update
•The Sustainable Energy Fair was very successful. The GAP SBN table drew many onlookers who were interested about TTOC projects as well as the GAP SBN.
•At the TTOC office, we are currently planning the GAP SBN annual member networking event. This year the event will be taking place at Levi Deal Mansion Bed and Breakfast in Meyersdale, PA. We are excited to have Carl Knoblock from the Small Business Administration join us to talk about co-operative purchasing.
•We have continued SBN assessments into the fall, and are happy to announce that our newest member of the SBN is Oddly Enough in Ohiopyle. This business sells handmade jewelry and clothing. We have many more assessments scheduled for the end of October and into November.
•We have continued with the SBN blog, which you can find at www.gapsbn.com. Check it out for innovative sustainability ideas and how-tos.
