The Montana Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network will be hosting its sixth annual Invest in Success small business conference on Wednesday and Thursday, April 29 and 30, at the Great Northern Hotel in Helena. The Montana Small Business Development Centers are a statewide network of ten regional centers serving all 56 counties in Montana. The SBDC staff offer professional business counseling to emerging and growing small businesses in all stages of business. The Montana SBDC Invest in Success conference’s theme, “Be the Best At What Matters Most”, will focus on what effective leaders do and how they think to create and sustain success. The diversity and number of renowned speakers lined up for the 2015 conference should make the event very appealing for small business owners, who are often limited in the amount of time spent on professional development. One of the highlights will be the Shark Tank Competition on April 30 where entrepreneurs will pitch their business idea to a panel of investors, lenders and business consultants. The first prize winner will receive $5,000 and the second prize winner will receive $2,500. The Montana SBDC is excited to have Joe Calloway, business author, consultant and international speaker for 30 years, as the keynote speaker for the conference. Joe has worked with companies like Coca Cola, IBM, Cadillac, and American Express as well as with small to mid-sized business groups including franchisees, medical practices, law firms and a range of professional services groups. On April 29, the conference will kick off with a behind-the-scenes tour of Boeing, the world’s leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners. There will be a networking reception that evening at the Holter

the 2015 conference will “focus on building small businesses and providing resources that will help bring entrepreneurs to the next level of business.” The Montana SBDC continues to build on the success of past conferences in Butte, Great Falls, Billings and Missoula, and has high hopes that this will be the most exciting conference yet.

Letter to the BuzzThe future of our pre-kindergarteners The strategic plan of the Glasgow School District identifies one of the principal strengths of the district as the collaborative relationships with community and organizations. Head Start is indeed one of those many and important collaborations; jointly working with our community’s 3, 4 and 5-year-olds to equip them to be school ready. School Readiness goals are an imperative component of the purpose of Head Start as we work with R.L. lrle Elementary to prepare our graduates to transition into the public school system with the skills that are expected of entering kindergarten students. On Wednesday, March 11th I spoke to the Glasgow School Board during the RECOGNITION OF VISITORS/PUBLIC COMMENT segment to call upon that collaborative relationship. I asked to be placed on the next School Board agenda to propose, detail and discuss the possibilities that would be served for Action for Eastern Montana Head Start, the Glasgow School district and the Glasgow community with the salvage of the brick portion of the current Elementary school: • To become a stand alone classroom facility in part

occupied by Head Start and other future Montana State Pre-K requirements.

• To maintain a growth structure for future community growth fluctuation and population needs.

• To maintain a kitchen facility that would be used by Head Start occupancy as well as serve as a district back up to the High School unit in cases of emergency and other possible community and adult education capabilities and opportunities.

• To save up to one third of the demolition costs to be incurred that could be used to help manage any unforeseen current and future expenses and manage the time of landscaping days that may affect the start and end date of the 2015-16 school calendar.

I believe that this request for discussion is a direct

reflection of the school district’s dictate to anticipate and constantly recalibrate the future — the future of our pre-kindergarten children. It is now March 25th and I have not received any response to my request from anyone on the School Board or the Superintendent’s office. I am again asking for the opportunity to discuss the current realities and evolving dynamics facing our Glasgow community and its children.

Always Shining

A true (?) story from a Sunday School Teacher I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven. I asked them, “If I sold my house and my car,had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church would that get me into heaven?” “NO!” the children answered. “If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?” Again, the answer was “NO!” “If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my Husband, would that get me into heaven?” Again, they all answered “NO!” I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued, “Then how can I get into heaven?” A little boy shouted out, “YOU’VE GOTTA BE DEAD!” Brings a tear to the Eye, doesn’t it?
