Please join us for our first breakfast at the newly-renovated Greenfield Grille (formerly Bill's) at 30 Federal Street, on Friday, November 20, at 7:30 am. It will be a most insightful program that should prove valuable for all local businesses interested in expanding their base of local customers. You will be given REAL data about REAL customer shopping habits and patterns. This presentation will give you some tips about coping with the challenge of Internet competition in the technological climate of today, and perhaps change the way you do business.
Greenfield Community College students from the Spring 2009 Principles of Marketing course, under the direction of Assistant Professor Kathleen M. Vranos, will present their research findings on small business marketing behaviors and consumer shopping behaviors in Franklin County. The GCC team will demonstrate the extent to which local businesses leverage the marketing concept, and the degree to which consumer behavior has been impacted by the online environment. The team will also share ideas and local resources for improving the marketing connection between businesses and consumers.
Make reservations by November 14 by mail, telephone (413.773-5463), fax (413.773-7008) or email. We ask you to prepay or pay at the door. Chamber members $12.00 (prepay or pay-at-the-door), $13.00 (invoiced) or non-members $15.00. A breakfast form is available www.franklincc.org

1:00 PM - 5:00 PM		   Illuminated Ground", a photographic exhibit by Michael Zide
Hallmark Institute of Photography is proud to announce the opening of "Illuminated Ground"; an exhibit by one of it's esteemed faculty members, Fine Art Photographer, Michael Zide. The opening will take place at The Gallery at Hallmark, on Saturday, November 7th. Located in the Colle Opera House at 85 Avenue A in historic downtown Turners Falls, the Exhibit will feature work from Michael's stunning collection of black and white fine art landscape photography.
Michael sees inherent beauty in simplicity. A tree branch, a rock, an ice crystal catches his eye, and then captures his imagination. He has the ability to take a given form, add his expertise using light and composition and turn it into something magical. With his imagery, Michael gives the viewer an opportunity to see the world the way he sees it, allowing them to share that special moment when time stops and beauty stands still.
The Exhibition Opening reception, available to the public at no charge, will take place from 1:00 to 5:00pm and will include refreshments and live music. "Illuminated Ground" will be on display Fridays through Sundays 1:00 to 5:00pm through Sunday, December 6, 2009.
