2009 Bosses Day Golf Tournament

I know everyone out there is already struggling to come up with a great gift for everyone's favorite holiday, Bosses Day! The Asheville Independent Restaurant Association has answered your prayers by hosting the 2nd Annual Bosses Day Golf Tournament.

I volunteered at last year's golf tournament and it was a blast. The day starts with mimosas and blood mary's along with a continental breakfast and ends with a culinary reception following the round of golf at the Broadmoor.

Windows on the Park featured in NC Magazine!

Those Girls of Windows on the Park are featured in this month’s NC Magazine, the official publication of the North Caronia Chamber of Commerce. The three page spread highlights the difficulties these entrepreneurs have had to overcome during the construction of Pack Square Park and a slipping economy. Entitled “Strong and Creative in a Down Economy: Those Girls Thrive in Asheville” the article is quite coup for Those Girls, given that the entrepreneurial profiles in the magazine are generally about individual male business owners. You can read the article here.
