I’m happy to report that I am out and about this year with several trainings, speaking engagements, and book promotion events. But before I share a quick a run down of where, what, and when, let me first say that there are still copies of my new book Stand Together or Starve Alone available for purchase at the 20% discount level. Go to the site: https://www.abc-clio.com/ABC-CLIOCorporate/SearchResults.aspx?type=a. Then go to checkout and enter the discount code Q11820. Remember, this discount ends on March 31. I’ve also beefed up my Linked-in, Facebook, and Twitter presence, so check me out at linkedin.com/in/mark-winne-5829295, www.facebook.com/markwinne, markwinne@MarkWinneFood.
