Hello 336!

[Mary H. Ruth]

I am so glad to be here. This is just the sort of site we need! I'm a virtual assistant in Snow Camp (that's about a half hour south of Burlington). I've lived in NC since 1973, graduating in 1975 from UNC-Chapel Hill. Much of my career has been in nonprofit arts organizations, along with a slew of supplementary jobs - law offices, retail, graphic design. About a year and a half ago, I started my own business and really love the work. Specialties are writing, business planning, and social media marketing; but overall, my passion is helping small businesses to succeed, however my skills may apply to that goal.

I have a 25-year-old son, daughter-in-law, and grandbaby. They live in another state, so I don't see them nearly enough, but thay are the light of my life, nonetheless!

Thank you, Mr. Howlett, for creating this site. I'm involved with a couple local networking groups, and I'll certainly be talking it up with them.

Looking forward to meeting all here and benefiting from our conversations.

Hey Mary - I am really glad to have you here and love that you get what we're trying to do and can help. In time this really can become a Dynamic Resource for the micro business owner inSide336 as it is happening for other small areas. Let me know whenever I can be of help. (and it's just 'Pat' :)
