Final Grand Prizes will be drawn on October 21 for single line BINGOs, multiple line BINGOs and Blackout cards. The more visits you make, the better your chance to win!

Sandy Dupleich of Dynamic Language will conduct the next Ask A Pro session, Disaster Preparedness - Disaster Recovery. What makes Sandy an expert on this topic? Over the last several years her business has experienced a number of emergencies including an earthquake, two burgularies, a flood and an electrical fire! Because of their disaster recovery plans, Dynamic Language was able to carry on business and meet their customer commitments in normal timeframes during each of these occurences.

Sandy can provide you with small tips that made all the difference to containing damage and loss.

Sandy will explain how they have "survived" and offer suggestions about how you can prepare your business for an unwanted and unexpected event. If you don't have a Disaster Recovery Plan, you need to put one in place now!
