“ If anybody wants to increase the amount of business they do in this area, they should attend this meeting! The last meeting had a great mix of "industries" represented and we were all able to get new insight from looking outside our own box so to speak. Many solid useable ideas came out of this meeting. Thanks to Jonathon for putting this together. And thanks to David Dutton for attending and giving us great insight. If you do business in the knoxville area, do not, I repeat, do not miss the next meeting. ”
