PUBLIC EVENT – On Thursday, July 10th from 1-3pm, participants of the “Kids Poetry Basketball” program at Bryan YMCA in Downtown Greensboro will be playing “Economy, Jr.” where players gain insight into both sides of the economic coin by having them choose at the start of the game whether they want to play as a customer spending a month’s paycheck from their chosen career on necessities such as housing, groceries, child care, and more or as a merchant running a business needing to make enough sales to cover this month’s overhead.
c37 words is sponsoring the event with the Greensboro Asset Building Coalition helping organize the event.
Happy Independence Day in advance!
This Wednesday @ 6pm, come out to the Nussbaum Center in Greensboro, NC for our Monthly Meeting which will have two featured Triad Startups looking for your expertise as they grow their business:
Krav Maga Greensboro is a self defense school in need of feedback for their new marketing efforts both online and off. Give them some tips and they’ll probably show you how to get out of a Guillotine Choke.
Think: da Vinci, Inc. is focused on inspiring the next generation of inventors at the July 11th Science & Technology Festival. Come on out to help them further their efforts.
Share what you can and also learn from others in the group. We’ll see you Wednesday night!
