Is Your Business Prepared?
Planning for the Unexpected

Manage Your Business in Emergencies
Thursday, August 30
Noon–1 p.m.
Bishop Ranch Conference Center
2623 Camino Ramon (BR 3)
FREE, includes lunch
DOOR PRIZES: HP Scanner, Disaster Preparedness Kit, Back-Up Disk

Recent events such as Hurricane Katrina have reinforced the need for every organization to be prepared in case of a disaster. A fire, flood, system outage, human error or fraudulent activity can compromise an organization’s ability to perform day-to-day operations.

Preparing for a potential disaster is the first step toward mitigating risk and minimizing an organization’s vulnerabilities. Industry analysts have confirmed that:

• only 2% of companies that experience a catastrophic data loss survive after one year.
• 50% of small to medium-sized companies (100 to 1,000 employees) go out of business within 3 years if lost data cannot be recovered within 24 hours.

Representatives from Intelli-Services will lead this interactive workshop. You’ll learn how to identify risks and implement solutions to ensure that your organization is prepared for a natural disaster, theft or other business interruption. To sign up, call 543-0100. Deadline: Tuesday, August 28.

Need Energy? Try Yoga

Your Energy Through Yoga Techniques
Wednesday, August 15, noon–1 p.m.
12667 Alcosta Boulevard, Suite 110 (BR15)
This seminar is FREE

This one-hour seminar/workshop is for anyone who wants to get energized — whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a yoga newbie.

Taught by Kathryn Chess of The Yoga Company, the class offers instruction on a technique called Acu Yoga, which integrates two ancient holistic practices: acupressure and yoga. Acu Yoga postures naturally activate certain nerves, muscles and acupressure points to awaken energy centers and release tension.

Join this one-hour workshop and replace your stress with vibrant energy and health. Prepare to let your energy flow freely to relieve back, neck, shoulder and overall physical disorders, nourish your internal organs and open up blockages that create muscle pain.

FYI: Wear clothes you can move in — no need for shoes. Bring a yoga mat if you have one; if not, The Yoga Company will provide it. To sign up, call Tenant Services at 543-0100. Deadline: Monday, August 13.
