Don’t forget! One of our members, Ozark Natural Foods, is offering FIBA members the chance to display their businesses within ONF. Every two months, ONF allows coop members to submit in-store display ideas that compliment the theme ONF is currently promoting. ONF has graciously extended that opportunity to FIBA. The displays cannot contain items for purchase and must be approved by ONF as consistent with their message as a business.

The upcoming themes are…
October: Fall Harvest
December: Winter / Holiday Season

Please contact ONF directly with your ideas.

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 12th! We’ll be gathering at Smoke and Barrel Tavern (behind Jose’s on Dickson) from 5:00-7:00pm. We’ll provide snacks and there will be a table for FIBA members to put their cards and other materials on. The main goal is for us to meet everyone face to face and give our members the opportunity to meet other local business owners in the area. We will have brochures and new member forms, so feel free to bring people who are interested, but have not joined yet.

Need incentive for recruiting a new member? We will personally buy you a beverage of your choice, if you bring and sign a new member for FIBA!

The Smoke and Barrel is non-smoking, and they sell both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. We hope to see you there - a little fun would do us all some good!

What: FIBA shin-dig
Where: Smoke and Barrel Tavern
When: Tuesday, May 12th from 5pm-7pm
