WOLFEBORO – The Business Retention and Expansion Task Force of Wolfeboro continues to make solid progress on its Business Visita- tion and Survey Pro- gram. The committee has just completed the two-hour training of 48 town volunteers to begin team surveys of over 100 Wolfeboro businesses. This training took place in three separate sessions, under the guid- ance of Andre Garron of the UNH Cooperative Extension Program. Vol- unteers met to review survey questions, prac- tice techniques and to team up with one other person to form a team to survey at least four dif- ferent businesses of their choice. One member of the team will ask the COURTESY PHOTO survey questions while VOLUNTEERS learn about the business survey that will be taken at Wolfeboro businesses. the other team member will carefully record all gained a real apprecia- program so that over the help us to support the owner for the approxi- 3.
