Spring Jamboree is BACK!

In case you haven't heard, we were given the FINAL approval we needed earlier this week for Spring Jamboree 2021! We are so excited, but BUSY and need volunteers for JUST about everything. 

Because of the size of the event, we are required to have COVID Awareness Monitors which increases our need for volunteers. If you are looking to help us out AND promote your business (we give businesses shoutouts!) then we've got a job for you! Here is a link to the Sign Up! We need help with vendor parking, Information/Raffle booth, COVID Awareness Monitors, and more!

We also are doing something new this year for our emcees. Do you know a local celebrity that would be a great emcee? We have four slots that we would love to have filled by local folks! Reply back to this email and let us know if YOU or someone you know would love to do this.

Employee Retention Tax Credit Webinar

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which became law on Dec. 27, 2020, made significant changes to the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC). The changes essentially are designed to increase the availability, scope and amount of the credits.

With these new Tax Credits you can earn up to $7,000 per employee, per quarter for both quarter 1 and quarter 2 of 2021. Alexader Bortz of Paychex is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. to review what this tax credit means for YOU. Email Alex to get your invite to secure your spot!
