Just wanted to make everyone aware of two great opportunities for small businesses in Fredericksburg in the next couple weeks.

The next opportunity takes place a little later in the month at the Virginia Workforce Center in Massaponax.  The Workforce Center offers a lot of free services for businesses.  The 2 hour open house is a great opportunity to quickly learn about some of those free services, as well as meet the staff that would be supplying them.  They will of course have refreshments and give one-on-one tours of their facilities.  There will be free printing services, computer support, and we will also be there offering complimentary website support.  Put it on your calendar and come learn about the Virginia Workforce Center on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014 from 8 to 10 AM.
