On Aug. 20 Concord Rotarian Sharon Spaulding introduced “Concord Together”, a collaboration led by local landlords and business owners to focus town-wide efforts to protect, promote, and preserve our vital small business community. They support vulnerable small businesses through the COVID crisis by providing financial grants, offering marketing tools and ideas, linking to a range of resources, and encouraging town-wide support of Concord’s shops, restaurants, and tourist destinations. Joining Sharon were Jennifer Schunemann, co-founder of Discover Concord magazine, along with Rotarians Peter Mahler, Hilary Taylor, Karl Kussin, Helen Halloran and Steve Verril, each reporting on a different aspect of Concord Together. To appreciate the wide scope of this group’s efforts, visit their website, concordtogether.org and see the Aug. 20 issue of The Concord Journal.
