This weeks guest speaker was Franchise Consultant Nick Sash (on right) who gave a program on "Wealth Franchising 3.0" called Solving the Puzzle of Franchising.
He was introduced by his dad, Gary Sash, who said Nick has had experience in motivational speaking and also helps out in his office.
Nick said he sees his job as to help people make money and to build something you can pass on to your children.
He promoted franchises as a way to "stop renting your life and start owning your life."
Franchises have a good brand name, proven business models and are a good invesetment, according to Nick.
He says investing in a small business offers a better return on investments.
Next Week: Joe and Debbie Vandemark will talk about their trip to Israel.
Upcoming Speakers:
June 23 - Dr. Loran Erdmann - Childhood obesity

Searching for the Macomb Kiwanis Club online? Sue Dexter brought to my attention that she had a difficult time in finding this club website on the search engine Google. Sue said the first thing you see is a link to our old website, followed by a link to an old news page and then there's a link to this site. I think that, over time, this new site will move up in the ranking as more and more people visit it. For your information: there are other search engines on the internet that all have this new site listed first! They are: Yahoo, MSN, Dogpile (where do they get these names?), AltaVista, Webcrawler and
Ask. If you would like to check it out, just visit one of those sites and type in "Macomb Kiwanis Club" in their search box. Thanks to Sue for letting me know. We want as many people as possible to find us and see what we're doing. Rick.
