Tony Kuttner

The Greater Alameda Business Association (GABA) rolled into 2014 in

high gear. We have scheduled a full slate of mixers, which got off to a solid start in January with a terrific event hosted by

Drs. Lauren Somers and Kim Kenna of Well Wise Woman.

In addition to our mixers, we have other events in the works, and we’re eager as ever to help our members prosper and our community to thrive.

Of course, doing so requires your help and par-ticipation, which is why those of you on our email list have already received an invoice for your 2014 dues.

For the bargain price of $85, you can claim member-ship in a welcoming group that offers you the opportu-nity to promote your business among friends and neighbors.

That $85 also supports programs that educate mem-bers about how they can improve their businesses and stay informed about what is going on in Alameda’s com-

mercial community.Plus, investing that $85

lets people know that you support a group that returns its support to Alameda by encouraging local busi-ness and by raising finds for the Alameda Education Foundation.

If you didn’t get that email, contact us at gabaemail@gmail.com and we’ll make sure you get your 2014 mem-bership form right away.

February MixerOur February event is from

5:30 to 7 p.m., Thursday,
