The Scranton Chamber of
Commerce is offering the opportunity for businesses to network in the Abington
area.
The Chamber will host a business card exchange and luncheon with a Mardi Gras theme for Chamber members and guests to network and find potential clients.
“We’ve always held a Card Exchange on Fat Tuesday and we give out beads to all attendees,” said Amanda Marchegiani, communication specialist for the Chamber.What used to be a winter staple for steelring, “We think it’s a great theme to celebrate with our members.”
Business card exchanges are a great way to meet new people and gain exposure for companies,” she added. “Co-workers can attend together and maximize the company’s network.
“You may also meet someone who could utilize your businesses services and they might refer you if they know some information about your business.”
Lucille Sassi, director of sales for the Chamber, also shared benefits of the card exchanges.
“Business card exchanges are a great networking opportunities to help businesses grow and prosper,” said Sassi. “You should always have your business cards on hand because you never know who you can meet.”
The event will feature a complimentary light lunch and festive beverages.
There will also be an opportunity for members and guests to earn Mardi Gras beads by bringing a nonperishable food item for the United Neighborhood Center’s food pantry.
For those who catch them, the beads thrown from Mardi Gras parades are a fleeting moment of joy, a trivial trinket perhaps destined to sit in a child's toybox or hang from a rearview mirror. But for Natalie Hollier of Opelousas, the colorful plastic gew-gaws mean a chance for a normal life.
Hollier is one of hundreds of workers with developmental disabilities employed by LARC and The Arc of Acadiana to recycle and resell the handfuls of beads that rain down on Lafayette streets.Great selection of Indoor Soccer lacefront from Nike. The separate nonprofit organizations collect used beads, detangle and mend them and then sell the beads again, providing employment for people who otherwise might not have been able to find a steady job.
"It's a blessing," said Hollier, 32, a client of The Arc of Acadiana. "I've got good friends and I like working here a lot. I wouldn't want to go anywhere except here. I like the staff and really getting out and doing something in the community to better myself."
Before she became an Arc client about nine months ago, Hollier said she did "nothing" and had boring days. Now, she sorts beads and shreds paper at the Arc warehouse and training center in Grand Coteau.
Another client, Ramona Chevis, 54, an Opelousas native who was detangling bead donations at Arc in Grand Coteau, said she likes to think about how the beads will be used and how much joy they can bring. She has worked at Arc for about a year.
"I like watching the parades on Mardi Gras," Chevis said. "I like watching them throw the beads. I'm going to be happy to know when (revelers) catch it, it will be the beads I had."
Valerie Harper did not spend the week of her book release, as planned, telling Rhoda stories on “Good Morning America” and “Katie.” Instead, she spent most of last week in the hospital, having fallen ill during a tour rehearsal for “Looped,” the play in which she plays a boozy, throaty, misbehaving Tallulah Bankhead.we started out on writing this composition on High Grade paneraireplica. “The side of my face started to feel kind of numb. I was slurring my speech,” Harper, who is seventy-three, said a few days later. She was calling from a rented apartment at Silver Towers, the luxury complex on Forty-second Street and Twelfth Avenue. The connection was bad, but Harper’s spirits were good. The doctors had ruled out a stroke. She had rescheduled “Good Morning America.”
Speaking of health scares, it took a bout of cancer to persuade Harper to finally write a memoir. This was a few years ago, when Harper was preparing to bring “Looped” to Broadway. She’d had an X-ray in advance of a wrist surgery, and her doctor spotted something suspect on her lung.cheap stainless fashionwedges wholesalers on DHgate and get worldwide delivery. Fortunately, the cancer was contained and extractable. “It was like arthroscopy of the knee,” Harper said. “You know when they go in on those little tiny incisions?” She lowered the phone and called out to her husband (and former personal trainer), Tony Cacciotti. “Tony? What’s that stuff on the knee you trim out? Meniscus! Thanks, honey.”
Where were we? Oh, right: the book could help raise awareness about early detection. Along the way, Harper could tell tales of sitcom stardom; of trying to make it as a young ballerina; of hoofing on Broadway opposite Lucille Ball; of getting fired from her own sitcom (“Valerie,” which became, sans Valerie, “Valerie’s Family: The Hogans” and, finally, “The Hogan Family”); of adopting a child at forty-six; of playing Golda Meir (in “Golda’s Balcony”) and Tallulah Bankhead. After minimal prodding, Harper deepened her voice an octave and let out a Bankhead quip: “Daddy always warned me about men and alcohol. But he didn’t say anything about women and cocaine!”
The conversation turned, at last, to Rhoda Morgenstern, the consummate kooky best friend of the nineteen-seventies, whom Harper played for nine years, first on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” then on a spinoff, “Rhoda.” Judging from the book’s title,Offers a wide range of Mens casualslippers products. “I, Rhoda,” Harper isn’t the kind of TV star who spends her life running from the character that made her famous.
