Testimonials
I recently attended Chamber Net at Kenneth Young Center. I view this event as "six degrees of separation". Each member's business is connected in some way to every other members business. I was introduced to Sal Manso of Reebie Allied Moving and Storage; he invited me to GONE IV which turned out to be a great fit so I joined. Junk Remedy then became a preferred vendor of Reebie. We gladly accepted and have already received business from this new partnership. The more I learn about other business in GOA it has a domino effect of sharing of ideas on how we can all better utilize our partners. Eric Huron of Huron Paper Stock is a prime example. We utilize him to make sure our paper is recycled properly and as an added bonus they actually pay for the paper. These are just a few of the many connections Junk Remedy has been able to make solely because of the GOA. If you work it, it works!!
