a homebased business.
I was looking to share skincare. What I foundwas a fellowship of women connecting andempowering one another. It's been a joygetting to know each of you and I hope we willcontinue to attract women looking for thesame.
It's rare in our world to truly connect and growas a group, but I think we're doing just thateach month.
And this month we'll be learning too! KatharineBecker of the Everglades Science Center willbe joining us to share scientific findings of ourprecious waters.
Bring a friend. Share BPW. Connection &awareness make us stronger.

In 2006 the Upper Keys BPW selected Tropcial Business Services as Business of theYear. In 2008, I expanded the business and purchased Sunshine Printing, which has nowbeen providing printing services to the Keys for over 32 years.
Our goal is to provide great customer service and superior qualityprinted products! To seemore about our services visit our website www.floridakeysprinting.com.
