Feeling the pride and buzz after the 2010 Olympics, Langley’s Maria Martini joined forces with Marlise McCormick who was the Associate Director of Choreography for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games’ Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Together with award-winning songwriters Bob Buckley and Brian Gibson, they are planning a 1000 person flash mob dance at Langley’s Canada Day festivities.

If you are 15 years or older and love to dance (professional or just seriously enthusiastic), you can apply to take part in this awesome event at www.keepthepridealive.ca. Rehearsals begin next week so apply soon!

A bilingual song entitled ‘Keep the Pride Alive/Une Fierté à Conserver,’ was recorded by 28 musicians. At the Langley Canada Day celebrations, six of BC’s top vocalists will perform the song – including Langley’s own Cole Armour.

It’s 2010 and unfortunately many local businesses still are not taking this whole internet thing seriously.  Have you ever said or thought the following:  ”My niece built me a little website in high school class, that’s all my business needs.”  ”Social media and online advertising?  Too confusing, no thanks.”  Or worse case scenario: “I’m not sure I need to be online.”

Wrong!  The internet IS for every business and if you’re not online yet or not keeping up your web presence, you are losing business.  Small businesses in every industry can, will and do benefit from a professional web presence.

For over a decade I have worked in online advertising, marketing & communications for and with innovative, international multimedia companies. I now share my experience on what a successful online presence can look like for small businesses, when to hire a professional vs. when to DIY, and how building your presence online takes more than just a great website.

I invite you to join me at the abc Country Restaurant for the Langley Chamber breakfast meeting on June 30th, 2010. It’s an informative hour before you start your day, learning about how to get going online or how to improve your existing online presence, followed by 30 minutes of networking with other great local business owners.

Tickets are just $10 and must be purchased in advance by phoning the Langley Chamber at 604-530-6656 or send an email to events@langleychamber.com.  Hope to see you there!

Nectar Lingerie in Fort Langley has launched a new campaign called Undies For Africa. This awesome initiative will be the collection of gently used bras and brand new underwear to be sent to the women on Zambia, to help lower the instances of sexual abuse, rape and the spread of infection.

Please bring your gently used bras and brand new women’s underwear to Nectar Lingerie.  As a thank you, you will receive 10% off your purchase that day.  Sounds like a great incentive to me!

Plants for this project were generously donated by Picketts Nursery, Landscape Materials came from Meadow Landscape Supply and the machinery was donated by Avenue Machinery.  Organized by Sherilyn Gale of Beneath Your Feet Landscaping, today’s event will see over $10,000 of product and services donated.  Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows certainly have some awesome BCNLA members!  Well done guys and gals!

These kindhearted local companies really outdid themselves.  Can’t wait to see the finished gardens, stream and new accessible pathway.  Take a drive by the Ridge Meadows Hospice today if you’re in the area, and give these hard workers a honk or a high five.  They will be there till dark.  Tomorrow and thereafter the families who will use the hospice, as well as the local community members, will all enjoy the fruits of their labour.
