How to hire a tradesperson

Do you need to hire a home service professional (contractor, electrician, painter, etc.) but don't know who to call or what to ask before hiring? Savvy Seattle Women is sponsoring a free workshop designed to help you "Hire a Pro without getting Conned."

The FREE workshop starts at 6PM on Wednesday, March 16th, with complimentary wine, cider and snacks. At 6:30 there will be a short presentation with handouts/checklists that give you specific things to do and ask vendors before hiring them. Location: Prudential office in Jefferson Square, 4700 42nd Av SW, Suite 600.

AND we have invited many local service professionals to come so you can interview them on the spot!

If you are a tradesperson, grab a fist full of your business cards and join us! You might just pick up a client or two!

Tomorrow (Sat. 3/12), move your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed because Daylight Savings time begins at 2AM Sunday morning.

A painless way to help

Doubtless, we all have "causes" we like to support because, for one reason or another, they touch our hearts. I want to make you aware of a website that benefits 7 different causes by convincing sponsors to donate for each person who clicks on the site. This means that you can make a donation at no monetary cost to you.

www.TheHungerSite.com provides fund for the following causes: hunger relief; breast cancer screenings; animal rescue operations; veterans; child health care; literacy; and, the rain forests. You can navigate from the Hunger Site home page to each of the other six pages with just a few clicks. It takes less than 30 seconds to click on each tab to benefit all 7 causes.
