In its 6th year now, SAB@Breakfast, started by Helen Blocker-Adams, meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 am at the Holiday Inn on Gordon Highway.
In addition to networking, the mission of the group is to become a state of the art public policy grassroots organization to create responses to legislation and other issues that effect small business in South Augusta and present those responses to County and State Legislators.
Also it is to provide small business services and programs to meet the needs of the small business community and to create "watchdog" functions to monitor State, Local and Federal legislation or other issues that affect businesses.
