A Day with Kindred Spirits/Fabulous Members of the Wilds Cooperative of PA

Team members Libby Bloomquist and LaKeshia Knarr setting up pre event

Recently, members of the Wilds Cooperative of PA got together to network and to learn more about the business resources available to entrepreneurs in the PA Wilds region, during this first ever Membership Meeting, held at North Central PA LaunchBox in DuBois. 

Such an amazing space

During the meet-up every one kept the employees at  this cool coffee shop, Aegis, super busy, located on the same floor as the North Central PA Launchbox.

My travel buddies, Lisa Conklin Conn to my left and Julie Mader to my right. Lol, 3 totally separate expressions from a potter/sculptor of whimsical creations , jewelry/mixed media artisan and a painter/mixed media artist/artisan.   How do I explain us?  We love it all <3

This is one of the huge flower boxes adorning the building

We all were snapping shots of these crazy Coleus

Aegis Coffee Roasters now occupies an old bank on the 1st floor of the building we met in

Aegis has definitely utilized this space in a very creative way.

What would you play on this bright and vibrant piano located in the lobby?


Some of my takeaways were:
  • take full advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that the Clarion Small Business Development Center (SBDC) offers
  • engage with 5 likeminded people/businesses on IG using the geofilter 
  • start scheduling social media posts a lot more 
  • use Google hashtag holidays a lot more
  • collaborate with other WCO members on Social Media more
