It's the Business Guild Of Seminole Heights B'GoSH

Tonight's meeting of the new business association was well attended with about 30 or so people. Later I will post a list of attendees. Both the St. Pete Times and the Tampa Tribune showed up to report on the meeting. The association has now has name. Business Guild of Seminole Heights or B'GoSH. The mission statement is "To increase the viability of local businesses and encourage additional high quality enterprise, by enhancing and cultivating Historic Seminole Heights as a unique and enjoyable commercial environment." The businesses are to be store front/ bricks and mortar businesses, home based businesses and artists. The B'GOSH's officers are: Sherry King - Acting President, Jay McGee - Acting Vice-President and Kitty Acting Secretary. The positions are on an acting basis until bylaws are created and elections are held. Suzanne Prieur heads the By-Laws committee.

A brainstorming session was held to discuss from a business perspective "What is right about Seminole Heights" and What needs improvement". Participants were asked to then rank the top 5 in each category for later review by the steering committee.

There was much energy in the meeting with good questions and issues brought up.

A little bonus. There was a story on WTSP yesterday about tonight's meeting in addition to the Tampa Tribune article
