2016 Women In Business
7th Annual Purse Drive
 The WBA Chamber Women in Business Group (WIB) is again sponsoring the women tenants of Solid Ground. For the 7th year, the WIB will present each of the 35 women at Solid Ground with a new handbag filled with a variety of items. 
 
Solid Ground helps prevent and end homelessness for families with children through housing, resources and opportunity.  It is the intention of the WIB to extend our hands in helping other women in need, increasing morale and self-esteem.  It truly is amazing how a new handbag can make someone feel.
 
To donate a handbag (preferable new & “mom” size) or items/goodies (35 of each) to stuff into them, please contact Maureen at the Chamber office at 651.429.8593 or 
maureen@whitebearchamber.com.  You can also drop your donations at the Chamber office located at 4751 Highway 61, White Bear Lake, Monday—Friday between 9am and 4pm. 
 

Biz Aware


Biz Recycling - Did you Know?
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THE LAW IMPACTS YOUR BUSINESS?

If you currently have a contract to remove 4 or more cubic yards of waste, AND if your business is located in the 7-county Twin Cities Metro area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, or Washington counties), AND your business is classified in sectors 42 to 81 under the North American Industrial Classification System, you are required to recycle.

If you don’t own the building where your business is located (you rent your space), but do meet the other requirements, your building owner will be required to comply with the law. If you handle your own waste hauling program for your business that is located in a space you rent, it is a good idea to begin or continue a recycle program.
