On Thursday, April 20, we're repeating our popular eBay for Business seminar, presented by Vivienne Porter through a grant from the Illinois State Library. This class is part of our Thursday evening series, and begins at 7:00 p.m.

Through the same grant, we're starting a series of Lunch-and-Learn seminars on Friday afternoons. On April 21, from noon until 1:00 p.m., Bob Hansen from Joliet Junior College's Small Business Development Center will speak on the topic of "Your Business Plan: Your Best Chance for Success." Lunch will be provided, through a donation from Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches.
