Chamber of Commerce<br />

Business Expo<br />

by Jim stickford<br />

P<br />

aul W. smith, radio personality at WJr, is<br />

the speaker at the sixth annual grosse pointe<br />

business expo, which will be held at the War<br />

memorial on tuesday, nov. 1 from 5 to 8 p.m.<br />

Jenny boettcher, executive director of the grosse pointe<br />

Chamber of Commerce, said the Expo got its start five years<br />

ago at the grosse pointe yacht club. It has proved to be<br />

so popular that only the grosse pointe War memorial can<br />

house the event.<br />

“the purpose of the expo is to promote local businesses<br />

in the community,” boettcher said. “the expo is a<br />

convenient and affordable way for grosse pointers to get<br />

maximum exposure of local businesses that belong to the<br />

grosse pointe chamber of commerce by showcasing the<br />

businesses, services and products they offer.”<br />

In order to have a display at the expo, the business must<br />

belong to the chamber, boettcher said. the variety of<br />

businesses who will be setting up tables and displays range<br />

from non-profits such as Services for Older Citizens to real<br />

estate operations to banks to cellular telephone providers<br />

as well as Wayne county community college District and<br />

Wayne state, hospitals and insurance companies.<br />

smith, who also has a column in the Detroit news,<br />

was asked to be this year’s speaker because he has a great<br />

presence in grosse pointe as both a resident and a local<br />

media figure.<br />

“We figured he could speak to Grosse Pointers about<br />

businesses and the business climate as it exists today,”<br />

boettcher said. P<br />
