You're invited to join us May 8 at 7:00 P.M. for a tele-town hall with the Jones sisters!

Whether your interest is full or part time, before you take the leap of faith, learn from Deborah and Mary Jones, owners of Kansas City Jones BBQ, about their journey of becoming business owners.  Also hear from other business professionals on how to get started and what’s needed to stay in business.
