"I am writing to give my deepest thanks to Deb and Kathy at the Walter C. Potts Entrepreneur Center. With the Center's assistance, I was able to develop a business plan and learn the process of opening a small business. I was given personal attention, which I needed. I would recommend to everybody to take advantage of the services, programs, and extensive business knowledge offered by the Walter C. Potts Entrepreneur Center.

Thank you Deb and Kathy, the Lima Area Chamber Foundation and the Small Business Development Center at Rhodes State College for all of your assistance!"

Sincerely,
Bill McDonnel and Ron Fisher
