No BBC Black Friday November 29th – Canceled For Thanksgiving Holiday

Happy Thanksgiving To All!

Thank you to BBC Regulars everywhere for your support, sharing your business wisdom, and having fun. To all you BBC Bikers, ride safe — and, to everyone else, be safe this holiday of friendship, family, and thankfulness.

Love your neighbor as your dog loves you. Shop local on Black Friday.

And remember Gamification IS different from zombification. So, be free, be businesswise, be…you know, like, cool.

See you all at the next BBC Friday, December 6th when BBC Founding Regular and Steering Committee Member Emeritus Alyse McConnell (thinkwell) will take us through a brief version of OfficeXpats’ Tuesday@Noon December Workshops “Looking Back / Looking Forward” — and another delicious cup of BBC!

Sincerely,
The BBC Management, KaveDragen Ink, & Other Entrepreneurial Sentients From Planet BBC
