POSITIVE PROMOTION

In a perfect world, everyone in Charlotte would be familiar with McColl Center for Visual Art. Well, North Carolina and the United States for that matter. But they are not, so we want to get the word out. And in the attempts to introduce the organization to more of the public and spread the word about what we do, I had a meeting today with Bryan.

Bryan represents Positive Charlotte, a group of positive thinkers who are interested in social networking, business networking, fitness activities, personal development seminars, workshops, discounted public events, etc. And I realized after talking with him about what we do here, I should share a few bullet points to our avid supporters as a refresher and reminder.
