Hello Friend,

Last week, SMARTstart opened a social media challenge to all current incubator members. The challenge involves posting on Facebook everyday for a two-week period using the hashtag #PascoSocialChallenge23. We have multiple members participating so make sure you follow along and support!! (You can find all participant's accounts to follow HERE). 📱 Also, stay tuned for more social media challenge opportunities.

We have some great classes and workshops coming up in the next few months, so don't miss out on more opportunities to learn and network. Next week you will have the opportunity to hear from Paul and Bianca Micklow as they share their tips on Business and Marriage.
