I don’t usually use this forum to promote activities other than THINK Like a BLACK BELT events. In this case, I’m very happy to make an exception…

I sit on the board of the Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber. Last year, we enrolled 3 students in an incredible program: Young Entrepreneurs Academy.

All 3 of our first year graduates have launched successful businesses! REAL businesses!

• One young man created custom t-shirt business and just received his first volume order for over $3,000
• Another launched a beef jerky business and is in the process of locating local markets and campgrounds to distribute his products
• The young lady in the group will sell her frozen yogurt products at local Farmer’s Markets

Jim with two graduates of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy. Bru Abreu (L) started his own t-shirt business and Liam Conlin (R) is manufacturing beef jerky!

Next year, our goal is to enroll and graduate 20 young entrepreneurs…the next generation of entrepreneurs and the future of Maine and America.

You can help…and have a blast yourself!

Our inaugural Hacker’s Ball Golf Tournament funds the YEA program. Additional proceeds will support scholarships for area college bound high school students.

We appreciate that every dollar is tight these days, so we want you to make the most of your contribution by enjoying a great day of golf!

You don’t have to be a PGA pro…I’ve just scheduled my 2nd lesson ever…and I’ve committed to playing on a team!

We’re going out to have fun, enjoy the company of area business folks and do our part to develop the next generation of Maine’s business leaders and entrepreneurs!
