Season’s Greetings from AAIBO

AAIBO — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:02:35 +0000

Here is my wish for you and your family, “I hope you have a joyous holiday and a very prosperous new year.” As we all work together to make our community a great place to live and work lets continue our bond through the AAIBO. It is because of our joint efforts that our association has gained respect and is listened to by decision makers in Abilene. There is strength in numbers and in 2010 I hope each one of you current members will renew your membership and ask at least one new person or business to join you as a member of AAIBO. If we all sign up one new member we can double our size in a short time. Let us keep the ball rolling and our numbers growing as we work for a better city, county, and state.

The latest meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission included some interesting discussion concerning the new Land Development Code that will be presented soon to the City Council for approval. The P&Z has one final special “called” meeting set for today. They plan to finish their work on revamping this document that Tim McClarty, the chairman, says is the “Road Map for the Future” of Abilene. The City staff will then print all the changes and then the Council will adopt the new Code. If you have any interest in seeing the plan I suggest you do so soon so your suggestions can be considered before it is finalized, or should I say set in stone. If I can help you in any way please give me a call.

AAIBO has decided to have a monthly lunch meeting on the 2nd Tueday of every month. Our first meeting will be on May 12, 2009 and Amanda’s Restaurant at 12 Noon. We want to have better communication with our members and we want our members to enjoy greater networking and conversation with each other. We will have a guest speaker at each meeting and will also introduce new members. We highly encourage you to bring guests and prospective members. RSVP’s are not required because we will be ordering off the menu, but are appreciated. Please contact Robert Morris at 676-7113 or at secretary@aaibo.com before each meeting.

AAIBO Offers Affordable Employer Group Healthcare Coverage

AAIBO — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 05:09:27 +0000

The AAIBO is pleased we are now able to offer a unique benefit to members: affordable employer group healthcare coverage.

This one-of-a-kind plan in the state of Texas answers a significant need frequently requested by many of our members. Because the AAIBO is a participant in the Texas Midwest Chamber Cooperative, we are able to offer this exclusive opportunity to give your business an advantage that up to now has only been available for large businesses – affordable health premiums.

Of course, you will have many more questions specific to your business plans and employees’ needs. The good news is this plan is offered through local insurance agents, so you can go to www.texasmidwest.org/cooperative and click on “participating insurance agents”.
