It's Easy Being Green

Stressed about the need to balance "green thinking" with aesthetic concerns, while staying on budget? Feeling overwhelmed by the barrage of environmental terms you're hit with every day?

Well, your worries may be unfounded - being green is far easier than you think. Paper mills are offering an ever-expanding range of stocks that are at once appealing, cost-effective, and environmentally sound. But don't take our word for it - come to Salt Creek Grill between Noon and 2 PM on Tuesday, May 13, to see the latest offerings from Mohawk Fine Papers, Inc. Debra Mease will be on hand to answer all of your questions and put your mind at ease.

Cost is $30 for NJ CAMA members and $35 for non-members. To RSVP or pay by credit card, call 609-275-4123 by May 9.

Charles B. Kreitzberg, PhD
CEO, Cognetics Corporation

Unless you have been living off planet recently, you've most likely heard about Web 2.0. You may connect it with web offerings like Facebook, My Space, You Tube or Second Life and with tools like blogs, wikis and discussion forums. What you may not realize is how much Web 2.0 will shape how you do business in the next few years.

Dr. Charles Kreitzberg, CEO of Cognetics Corporation will discuss the ways in which Web 2.0 is transforming the business landscape and leveling the playing field.

Web 2.0 introduces a whole set of new ways of interacting with customers, prospective employees and the public. It makes it easier for colleagues to collaborate from remote locations. But Web 2.0 goes way beyond telecommuting and CEO blogs.

Web 2.0 will redefine not only the practice of customer communications; it will redefine the workplace itself.

Hard work, sacrifice and years of experience have helped you make it in this competitive marketplace.  Conceptual thinking, organizational skills and strategic planning have helped you succeed.  Now that your business is up and running, what is your plan for the future?

All successful small businesses share one common trait - a smart, strategic financial plan, both for the business today and for the future.  Analyzing cash flow, tax and insurance planning, and investing wisely are all integral when planning for your future.  And what about retirement?  Join us to hear Ameriprise Senior Financial Advisor Vincent Notarianni discuss the secrets to future financial planning - how to build your business for growth today and for your future.

Vincent works one-on-one with his clients to understand what is important and unique to them.  This information provides the foundation for a strategic plan to help them achieve their short and long-term goals.  As an Ameriprise Financial Advisor, Vincent works with clients to take action on their personal financial strategy, monitors their plans and helps them keep on track as their finances evolve and market conditions change.

A resident of Hamilton, NJ, with extensive ties to the greater Philadelphia region, Vincent enjoys spending time with family and friends, running marathons, flying planes, boating, nutrition and racquetball.
