 Hello, my name is Melissa Lindler, I'm the Director for the Office of Business Opportunities with the City of Columbia. And I'm Aisha Driggers, Deputy Director in the Office of Business Opportunities. We know that our small businesses have been hit hard by the pandemic and this year we are holding our 9th annual Small Business Week celebration at the Medallion Center on May 5th and we hope you can come out and join us. This is our first live in-person event that the city has held for our small businesses. We're very excited about this opportunity to celebrate our small businesses with our Mayor Daniel Rickerman and members of City Council that will also be present. It's a priority for our small businesses to succeed here in Columbia. So this year, you want to tell them about our lineup? Sure. We will have Monty, two guns barred, he's a WBC heavyweight championship boxer to talk about perseverance and the commitment and how he's transferred that over as an entrepreneur in Columbia. Also we'll have an opportunity for our businesses to let network with our community partners such as the Small Business Administration, the Bendett College Women's Business Center and many other of our community partners that are here as resources to our small businesses. And we don't want to leave anybody out. We are also highlighting some of those businesses that have really been able to grow and develop despite the uncertainty and distress of the pandemic. The first business we highlighted on Monday and that was Maine Horse with Scott Middleton. And the other four businesses that we will highlight are Deon Generette, 7th Sunday Inc., Karen Erin Foumay with Karen's Kitchen and Catering, Lundray Phillips with Rego Lounge and Lance Brown with Rhino Medical Supply. So please come out and help us celebrate. We also will be celebrating our fast track and next level participants from the last three years that were able to actually do those courses virtually because of the pandemic. So we're trying to get back to normal but we're not there yet. But we need all of you to make sure this week, Small Business Week and every week of the year that you support our small business community. You shop local, you eat local and you celebrate local. Thank you. To register for the event, go to our website at obo.columbiasc.gov and click on the events page and you can register through Eventbrite. It is $25 to attend to cover lunch and we look forward to seeing you.
