Women In Business Mentoring Event

Article and Photo By Barb Fisher The Women in Business seminar is held annually sponsored by the Wawa Economic Development Corporation, Millworks Centre, Paro Services and Superior East. Each year the seminar attracts more and more women who are spreading their horizons and taking an active part in exploring their business ingenue. This year the theme "Tea Party with a Twist" gave the ladies another excuse to mingle, learn and network over dinner, information sharing and activities designed for women to mingle, greet and explore the personal experiences of their fellow entrepreneurs. MC

Maury O'Neill congratulated Mitch Hatfield in the audience who has been successful in filling a seat on our town council; the only female within the council group. Unrehearsed but eager, Mitch took the podium and spoke briefly promising to help everyone in Wawa to progress and feel comfortable in the newly elected council's leadership. Katherine MacRae representing PARO Services in Women's Enterprise Initiatives gave great information on individual strategies for a woman "growing her business" and outlined their loan application process. Their Peer Lending Circles consist of small groups of up to seven women who

provide networking, peer support, and mentoring to assist women, businesses and communities. Members learn the loan application process for seed start-up and growth, access financial literacy and business development training, adapt to changes in the market place, adopt new technologies and tools, and connect to the greater economy. She tweaked everyone's interest in reiterating the loan availability - up to $150,000 for start-up businesses and flex loans up to $10,000. Contact info@paro. ca or call 800-584-0252 for more information.   Tracy Amos representing Superior East in Wawa spoke on the availability of loan dol-

lars with various guidelines: small business loans up to $150,000, flex loans up to $10,000, small business counselling, and youth entrepreneurship programs. Go online at www.superioreastcfdc.ca,
