We are running a series of lunches that highlight our Entreverge winners while also giving everyone a chance to introduce themselves. The beginning of these lunches will start with all participants introducing themselves and what they do. Each person wil...l have a minute or two. The second half of the meeting will be left for our Entreverge winners to tell their story (how they came up with their business idea, what’s working, how their business is sustainable in their market area and in this economy, how they market their business etc.) Come find out why these businesses were our winners!

Adriane Zahner, Turtle Love Committee: Turtle Love Committee is a forward thinking internet-based wedding jewelry company that sells unconventional wedding and engagement rings. The company believes the value of a wedding or engagement ring should be based on the love and commitment it symbolizes, not the financial expense it represents. Turtle Love markets and sells wedding jewelry from local and national artisans that support their mission. Their willingness to defy the conventional has enabled them to achieve explosive growth since the company was founded in mid-2008. Come hear about this intriguing business.
