community supported enterprise webinar

Some of you may be interested in this upcoming conference call on Community 
Supported Enterprise. The call takes place Thursday, January 17 from4-5pm 
EST. Learn more and register online at: 
http://www.communitymatters.org/community-supported-enterprise. It is free!
 
Would you loan your favorite bookstore money to keep it from closing? Or 
pay $1000 for months of café fare…before the café ever opened for business? 
Would you spend your Saturday painting walls so that a restaurant in your 
neighborhood could expand its seating? Cash is tight and small business 
ownership is risky. But Community Supported Enterprises offer one way for 
communities to offer help and creative financing to get small businesses 
off the ground or keep them open.
