Dr. Bob from Superior talked about their Craft Beer and Wine Tasting Event of Wednesday, March 26th at Barkers Island Inn from 6-9:00. Tickets are $40. Contact Dr Bob at drbob@greatlakeriver.com to purchase tickets. 

Our own Lisa Neitzel along with her colleague Renae Ronquist presented a program about the public relations firm, Surge Communications. The program was a first for Skyline. Lisa had lost her voice so they used an AI generated voice for their program. Surge was started by Lisa in 2011. She stressed that digital marketing was the the most important element in current marketing efforts. Websites are the cornerstone of a business's marketing efforts and need to be kept current to be effective. Search engine optimization is maximized by regular content updates to the website. Thank you Lisa and Renae for your presentation.
