Like the title says I am now unemployed - Yeah!!!! We applied for a Federal program called Self Employed Benefits back in October and still do not have the official word on if I have been accepted. Because of the way the program runs I can't do a whole lot on the restaurant until I am accepted... so we wait. What I can do is work on my Business Plan and continue to cook and bake and work on the menu. So that is what I am doing.
Unfortunately, again like the title says I have been unhealthy for the last 3 weeks. I have had a pretty bad lung infection that has kept me down but now with the correct cocktail of drugs in my system I am ready to go,
What have been doing with myself you ask? Well the program I am hoping to start soon is run through PARO.
The PARO Centre for Women's Enterprise has helped thousands of women across Northern Ontario to start, grow or build new business opportunities. And at PARO they run weekly workshops which I have been attending. It is great for networking opportunities as well as a way for me to learn new stuff. Especially helpful have been workshops about Thunder Bay specific things like market research and using the Public Library. Things I would not have considered as a transplant here. Wednesday I am going to a Record Keeping workshop - should be interesting.
One other very exciting piece of news is that we have changed out name a bit. We are now called...
madeFRESH
brunch - lunch - catering
We will be working with our very talented graphic designer Kerry Lee Bray to update the logo very soon.
Well that is all for now. I will be back more regularly I promise. This week I am making lemon and lime squares as well as brownies - I know you all want to see how they turn out.
