The Selkirk Record Thursday, April 4, 2019 11 It’s Her Biz expo shines spotlight on local women in business

By Justin Luschinski Women in business from Selkirk, St. Andrews, West St. Paul and St. Cle- ments got a chance to showcase their businesses and network with resi- dents during the It’s Her Biz Spring Expo and Trade Show last week. The second annual event hosted by Business and Professional Women Canada and the Selkirk Biz was held at the Canalta Hotel in Selkirk last Tuesday evening. The event gave local women in busi- ness a chance to showcase their busi- nesses while networking with other entrepreneurs. Jeanie Webb, one of the organiz- ers of the expo, said when you own a business, you don’t have time to meet other entrepreneurs. “You’re so busy running your own business, that you don’t get to go out and meet other people who also run their own business,” Webb said. “There were some (business own- ers) who were just becoming aware of each other for the fi rst time. Now we can make connections, now we can put a face to a business, and support each other.” RECORD PHOTO BY JUSTIN LUSCHINSKI Webb said around 400 residents Kat Marsch, holds her one-year-old daughter Vienna, while she enjoys some juice from The Mighty Kiwi at stopped by, and around 20 businesses the It’s Her Biz Spring Expo and Trade Show last Tuesday evening. participated in the event, including The Mighty Kiwi Juice Bar and Eatery other female entrepreneurs. and The Vine Tattoos and Apparel of “It’s exciting to see other women in Lockport.

ANNOUNCEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT IN MEMORIAM IN MEMORIAM

In Memory of Dan Stasiuk April 3, 2017 No Tomorrows Somewhere beyond the Heavens, I know that’s where you are; I see you when the sun sets, You are that shining star. When stormy days surround me, You’re the rainbow that appears; And the gently falling rain, I know they are your tears. They’ll be no more tomorrows, You’re all my yesterdays; But those memories we both made, Will stay with me always. Love you Dan and miss you More than you will ever know. -Deb, Jeff and Ashlyn

But it’s not just that, it’s so much more, As we sometimes think it’s your knock at the door. Jokes, calendars, Junior B and red cars, Welcoming people to gatherings here and afar. Your laugh and smile made everyone’s day, We miss you so much, but your spirit hasn’t gone away. -Love from your family and friends 26 The Selkirk Record Thursday, April 4, 2019 ANNOUNCEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT IN MEMORIAM IN MEMORIAM AnnouncementsBook Your Classifi ed Ad Today - Call 785-1618 or Email [email protected] Book Your Classifi ed Ad Today - Call 785-1618 or Email [email protected] OBITUARY
