Thursday, March 22, Creative Visions will be hosting Small Business Administration Regional Director Ms. Pat Brown-Dixon. Between 6-8PM  Ms. Brown-Dixon and other guests will will explore the effects of entrepreneurship and small business development in low-income neighborhoods. This economic forum will also  serve as an award ceremony for our  business plan competition. Contestants were asked to submit a summary detailing their business’s function, operation, cash flow, start-up costs and other relevant information.

Congratulations to our three  finalist Ienie Clement, Francis Boggus, and DeVondre Williams! Thank you for participating good luck Thursday night.  We look forward to seeing the community come out and support our efforts and learn something about small business ownership.

A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety indicates that reckless and distracted driving is the number one killer of teens in the U.S. and that crashes that resulted from distracted driving led to 3,500 teen deaths in 2009.

The average text message takes five seconds to send—meaning that, if a person is driving at 55 miles per hour, he or she travels the length of the average football field without looking at the road, each time they send a text.
