POSTMASTER Send changes to: Jaime Waddle, 114 East Main St., P.O. Box 189, Panora, IA 50216 SPR 19 Knowing you have support behind you makes it easier to face the challenges in front of you. This Solutions for Business issue explores several topics related to peace of mind—something all business owners and managers strive to achieve. Surveillance cameras and monitoring devices are affordable ways to get priceless peace of mind, and you’ll find 4 Reasons for Having a Security System on page 3. For assistance with protecting your business, contact Panora Telco or Guthrie Center Communications. On pages 4 and 5, we shine the Business Spotlight on Bryton Insurance Agency. This agency specializes in property and casualty insurance, and its clients can rest easier due to having coverage carefully selected for them. Owner and President Chris Arganbright also enjoys the peace of mind that comes from Panora Telco handling all the internet, phone, security/ monitoring, and website issues. We share Benefits of a Local Chamber of Commerce on page 6, followed by a look at how Programs Help Bring Fiber toMore Rural Areas on page 7. Both articles address the importance of using the local resources available to support your progress. Is there something (related to communications services) keeping you up at night? You’ll feel better if you talk to us about it. Sincerely, Andrew M. Randol General Manager Panora Telco & Guthrie Center Communications PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER FOR BUSINESS
