Our next meeting will take place on Thursday, July 19th. Please note the change in venue! We will be meeting at the Emily Murphy Centre (67 Barron St Stratford) where Rebecca works. If the parking lot is full, you can park on the street or in the old Sobey’s parking lot. The Emily Murphy Centre is a Second Stage Housing Facility for abused women and children, so everyone will need to sign a confidentiality form. To enter the building you will need to buzz in. The buzzer is a silver button and it is located to the right of the door. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Rebecca or Kelly.
Our speaker will be Joani Gerber. Joani is the CEO of investStratford, which is the City's economic development arm in all things industry related in Stratford. You can learn more about investStratford here: www.investstratford.com
