Hey, Entrepreneurs: Free Seminars

I followed a link to the Small Business Center at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College because they're offering two seminars on biodiesel fuel, which is what I'm working with in my current graduate research. But they're also offering a number of other free seminars this summer, and there seem to be a fair number of small-business operators, self-employed folks, and other entrepreneurial types among the roadskater.net crowd. So maybe some of you NC dwellers will find this interesting. And the operative word here is free.

SALISBURY, N.C. — The Small Business Center at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College has announced its schedule of upcoming free seminars. These programs are offered for people thinking about starting a small business or currently operating their own business.
