Commerce Twp., MI: To promote VA Blitz Day, Michigan-based Virtual Assistants (VA’s) will be on hand at several BIGGBY COFFEE locations throughout the state on October 14, 2009 from 9am to 2pm to speak with business owners and entrepreneurs about how a VA can help their business. For a small donation ($5 suggested) to Operation: Kid Equip, a VA will be conducting a 25-minute consultation. For online details visit http://www.VABlitz.com/ .
Donations collected will support Operation: Kid Equip, which provides underprivileged kids in Michigan the school supplies they need to be successful in school.
