Kevin Price had this to say about Jobs Ministry Southwest:
“This is the type of group that I absolutely admire. Instead of merely providing the means to sustain themselves a little longer or one of the many programs that further fosters dependence, this group changes lives one at a time and I’m proud to have it as the center of one of our remotes.”
~~Mr. Price plans on dedicating his show to nonprofit organizations that are making a difference in the community in 2009~~
If you have not made it out to one of these mixers, you are missing out on a great networking opportunity for you as well as being a resource in your community. Come enjoy breakfast (restaurant opens at 7AM & would leave you more time for mixing & mingling) or lunch and bring plenty of business cards!
