A Letter from the President, Ed Probst
Dear BBA Members,
I hope this message finds you well as we transition into the final stretch of the year. It is with great pleasure that I welcome our newest members to the Bayside Business Association. Let’s give a warm welcome to Barry Arcuik of BSA Home Improvement Contractors, Eric Belanich of Bell Realty, and John Ryan from OSP. We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant community of businesses! Your feedback matters to us, and we’ve heard your desire for more in-person membership meetings.
We’re excited to announce that our next breakfast meeting will take place on November 2nd from 9-11AM at OSP. We encourage all of you to attend and engage in the discussions and networking sessions that define our association. To purchase tickets for the event, please visit: https://bba20.wildapricot.org/event-5457593. Remember, securing your spot in advance will save you money compared to paying at the door.
We also invite you to participate in two fantastic initiatives that are essential for our local business community. First, the BBA Best of Bayside Contest. Nominate your business or a deserving colleague here: https://www.baysideassociation.com/bestofbayside2024/#apply. And don’t forget to register for Small Business Saturday, an event that’s crucial in supporting local businesses. You can sign up here: https://bba20.wildapricot.org/event-5361473.
Lastly, mark your calendars for the Holiday Kick Off Party at Bourbon Street on November 29th. The registration link will be shared soon, with early bird pricing available. Plus, here’s a special offer: bring a prospective member to any of our events, and you’ll save $5.00 off your entry fee. It’s a great way to grow our community while enjoying our gatherings. As we approach the year’s end, we look forward to a strong finish with your continued support and involvement. Your dedication to the BBA is what makes our community thrive.
Sincerely,
Ed Probst
