SCORE Free “Should you start your own business” workshop
6:30pm to 8:30pm
This FREE workshop: · Provides perspective about the risks and types of activity involved in owning a small business. · Emphasizes the initial planning that should be done by anyone considering starting a small business. · Addresses issues you will want to consider before launching a business. We talk about the rewards for starting a small business, attributes of a successful entrepreneur, business planning including how to determine your cash requirements, the legal form of your business entity, and more. This workshop is NOT a detailed “how to” discussion of all the steps to take to start a business. The focus is on the processes and steps to take to see if a business idea has merit and is worth pursuing. It will identify questions and resources for you to determine the viability of your business idea. Completion of this workshop will help you prepare for subsequent business counseling at SCORE, for attending training classes at the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and provide a basis to start you on your own independent research work. The Penrose Library is located at 20 North Cascade Ave. Call SCORE at 636-3074 for more information.

HAIRSPRAY
January 5, 8:00 PM
January 6, 2:00 PM
Broadway’s Tony Award®-winning musical-comedy phenomenon takes you back to 1962 Baltimore, as 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show. Can a big girl with big dreams—and even bigger hair!—change the world…and still have time to win the boy she loves? This mega-hit is piled bouffant high with laughter and romance—and deliriously tuneful new songs. As the New York Times says, “If life were everything it should be, it would be more like Hairspray. It’s irresistible!”
