Event Description:
Baby Boomers are the single largest demographic group in America, which means they have a lot of purchasing power (2.6 trillion dollars of it to be exact). Athens is routinely included in the Top 10 Places in the US to Retire, creating a growing senior community.  So how can you reach this demographic? 

Join us at this month's special Athens Senior Resource Network edition of Small Business Breakfast Club to hear from industry experts who will share insights on needs and opportunities for serving the local Boomer community. You'll have the opportunity to network over a delicious breakfast and learn more about the chamber's ASRN members and the services they provide.
