I belong to a nifty local-trade group called “Our Milwaukee” and last night was their annual meeting. Our Milwaukee is less than 2 years old, but in that time has grown from 8 founding members to 86 members! The purpose of Our Milwaukee is communicate to the community the importance of supporting local-owned businesses and the value that comes from small businesses. The meeting was pretty interesting and I met some keen folks like Peter Adams from Radio Milwaukee, Tim Burke of Burke Candy , Ramie Camarena of Alterra Coffee and Jim Schrimpf of the Brewery Credit Union.
