Business Briefcase

ByConnorDziawura

IN THE BIZ

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase! Well, October has come and gone, and now we’re getting ready for this massive “giving of thanks,” which would be incomplete without turkey, stuffing and gravy. Wow, I’m making myself hungry just thinking about it! There are also December’s slate of holidays, but I must keep the Business Briefcase ball rolling. All of us in the business community know that branching out and meeting our fellow business owners is important. So, I’ll start with a new development that recently came to an area that’s likely near to many of you, then I’ll move on to the plethora of networking opportunities. Well, here it is–the news! First this week, Dollar Tree opened a location at 107th Avenue and Thomas Road on October 19, in the former location of a Fresh and Easy. Dollar Tree needs no introduction, and now Avondale shoppers will have access to the franchise’s large collection of affordable and diverse goods. The Avondale Center for Dollar Tree is located at 10725 W. Thomas Road. Now on to the networking events! First is the fastest-approaching event– and it’s a classic for sure! The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce is holding its monthly Chamber 101

meeting from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, November 2. Stop by to network, learn reasons why you might be interested in becoming a member of your local chamber of commerce and enjoy a delicious lunch provided by Goodyear’s own Haymaker Restaurant Co. But be sure to RSVP at 623-9322260. This event will be held at the Southwest Chamber, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. Next up is another networking event— or rather a pair. And they’re both reoccurring events I haven’t mentioned before. The Southwest Marketing and Referrals Team Referrals, otherwise known as SMART Referrals, holds its 8:00 Roundup at—you guessed it!—8 a.m. every other Thursday. November’s lineup includes meetings on November 2, 16 and 30. The group requests future attendees RSVP by 9 p.m. the Wednesday before the meeting you would like to attend. But on the opposite Thursdays, SMART Referrals is still active. The group also holds Lunchtime Business Builders, which has approaching dates at noon November 9 and 23. For this event, the group requests future attendees RSVP by 6 p.m. the Wednesday before the meeting you would like to attend. Both events take place at Rudy’s BarB-Q, 845 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. They each provide great opportunities for local business owners—or anyone (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

in the business community, really—to network and mingle with fellow professionals. Anyone who attends either of these events will get a 60-second plug for their business, while one special business will be showcased with a 10-minute presentation. A door prize that will be given away through a business card raffle, which reminds me, bring plenty of those to share. Reservations can be submitted via any of the event’s many meetup.com pages. Finally, I’m going to jump ahead for the last tidbit of the week. The City of Avondale Active Adult Program will be holding its annual Christmas Party for the Seniors Holiday Luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. December 21, but it needs help. With more than 100 seniors served by this facility, it is in need of donations for its Christmas raffle, which allows everyone to take home a gift. Donations of any kind are welcome. If you’re interested in contributing, this should give you more than enough time to lend a hand. Donations of $2 are also suggested for seniors, with other attending guests required to pay $5 for lunch. The event takes place at Avondale Community Center, 1007 S. Third Street. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading! Have an item for Business Briefcase? Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@timespublications.com.
