We are encouraging all paid members in good standing to update their Slide Show so we have one for each of our members. This slide show is shown at each of our meetings and lets those in attendance know who you are and what your business is. It is one of the perks of being a paid member. Corry Ticknor can take care of that for you but she needs your particulars so please contact her with your information. Also by being a paid member we encourage all members to make sure they have their business information on the Shop Orillia Site. It is free and all you have to do is register on the site. It is a great way to advertise your business online!
