| Toner Scam notice to all businesses There is a company calling saying they are the National Distribution Center for toner. They ask you to verify the model of your copier and fax. At that time they hang up and send you toner for all machines you gave them. They will then also send you a large bill for the products. Please be aware of who normally supplies you with your toner and supplies. If you are under a contract you normally get those supplies included in that price, you don't pay extra. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce
presents the workshop: Roadside Advertising in a Digital World
Does your business have a sign on the digital superhighway? Can people find
your business when they search an online map or use a Global Positioning
System (GPS) unit? GPS units are predicted to have 50 million users by 2010. Not only do GPS devices tell you how to get there, they are now telling you where to go. Make sure your business is a roadside destination in the digital world. The Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with University of Minnesota Extension is offering a one hour lunch workshop to give you and your business the know-how and the tools to get listed in the world of digital maps. Come ready to learn about placing your point of interest within the Global Positioning System. Cost for this session is $15, a box lunch will be provided. Please join us Thursday, May 22nd at 12:00 noon at the Chamber Office. Enrollment is limited. Please call the Chamber at 532-4484 to reserve your spot. |
