The MBA class of 2012 at the Odette School Business will celebrate local leadership when they launch the inaugural "Conversations with Community Champions event" on Friday, December 16, 2011 at the Odette School of Business, University of Windsor from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The event marks the culmination of a semester’s work on developing personal leadership strengths and learning about leadership from the very best in our community. Each MBA team was partnered with two local leaders. Through extensive background research and personal interviews with the leaders, the MBA students enriched their knowledge of the skills, abilities and attitudes necessary to become a passionate leader who makes a difference in the lives of those around them and in their community. The event is an opportunity to celebrate the talents, commitment and the many contributions of Windsor’s own Community Champions. The featured leaders will be presented by teams in rooms 321 and 210, beginning at 10:30 A.M. in the Odette School of Business building.
These Champions are very worthy of celebration. Each has forged their own leadership path and made Windsor and Essex County a stronger and more vibrant community. They inspire leadership in others. They are all leaders in giving back to the community.
The MBA class of 2012 will “pay it forward” over the next year through mentoring and helping to develop the leadership potential of a talented group of Forster Secondary School students in co-operation with their teacher, Mr. Greg Adler. These students and their teacher will also be present at this event. They are our next generation of our community champions!
This year, the featured Community Champions are:
Ari Freed (Freed’s of Windsor); Rose Anguiano Hurst (WEST of Windsor); Ted Farron (Farron’s Gourmet Meats); Adam Vasey (Pathways to Potential); Karen Behune Plunkett (WE Tech); Carol Derbyshire (Hospice of Windsor); Jennifer Jones (MediaStreet Productions); John Elliot (Sandwich Teen Action Group); Joe Ouellette (Acrolab); Elaine Whitmore (John McGivney Centre); Chandra Dass (Downtown Mission); and Jim Marsh (WFT Investments, and Odette SIFE Faculty Advisor).
This event begins in room 210 Odette at 10 a.m. All media are welcome. Presentations will begin at 10:30 in rooms 210 and 321 following introductory remarks; cameras can be set up in rooms 210 and 321 at 9:45 A.M.

FREE LEGAL ADVICE FOR SMALL BUSINESS UNTIL DEC. 11!
Christmas Has Arrived Early for Ontario Small and Mid-Sized Businesses!
All Week Long, Small and Mid-Sized Businesses Get the Valuable Gift of Free Legal Advice
It won’t fit into a stocking or under a tree, but Ontario’s small and mid-sized businesses are still getting a great early Christmas gift this year from DAS Canada. All week, DAS is giving the gift of free legal advice. From now until Sunday, Ontario small and mid-sized business owners will be able to get a taste of DAS Canada’s Legal Expense Insurance solution by calling the company’s legal hotline and receiving free qualified legal advice.

Questions to the Legal hotline can be about anything from employment disputes to unpaid receivables to health and safety closures or any other potential legal headaches that could arise. With the average cost of a lawyer in Ontario running at over $355 per hour, most Ontario businesses will greatly benefit from a means of having affordable access to the legal system.
Unforeseen challenges can arise at any time, and if you don’t know your rights and responsibilities, you could find yourself quickly entangled in a legal nightmare,” said Barbara Haynes, CEO of DAS Canada. “For smaller companies for whom retaining a lawyer is out of reach, our policies can make the difference between business success and going under.”

Business owners can call 1-877-88-ADVICE (1-877-882-3842) and use the promo code ONTFREE during that period to have access to qualified advice on their legal issues.
The company is also hosting a “business legal nightmares” contest to hear from small and mid-sized business owners about legal challenges they’ve had to face. Participants can enter for a chance to win $1,000 Staples gift card by visiting www.das.ca/ontariostories and telling their stories.
DASbusiness is designed to protect businesses against thecost of legal disputes, allowing them to focus on their core business whileknowing that their legal fees and expenses are covered if and when the needarises. The company’s call-center provides policyholders with direct access to legal experts to assist them in determining the best course of action in a given situation.

See The Trews Nov. 26 & Some Great Hockey!
CWHL& Breast Ride Ever Get Ready To Stick It To Cancer!
The Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL) and Breast Ride Ever (www.thebreastrideever.com) are teaming up in November for a huge fundraiser in the Windsor area called “Stick It To Cancer.”
When the Montreal Stars play a two-game series against the Toronto Furies in a rematch of the Clarkson Cup Final at the Windsor Arena (572 McDougall St. Windsor) on November 26 (6 p.m.) and November 27 (12:30 p.m.) hockey fans have a chance to not only see some of the top female players in the world compete, but meet and skate with them on the ice!
After the Sunday game fans who bring their helmet and skates will be invited on ice to skate with the players. Fans will also have an opportunity to get autographs.
Windsor’s own Meghan Agosta will be playing one of her first games with the Stars.
“ Agosta has an enormous amount of offensive talent – and she’ll surely make her mark in these games, and all season long for us,” Stars Captain Lisa-Marie Breton-Lebreux says. “We are very excited to play in this important fundraiser event!”
Individual game tickets for adults (18 and older) are $15; seniors (65 and older) and children are $10. Children three and under get in free. Tickets for both games are available in a package – adults for $25 and $15 for seniors and children.
Tickets are general admission and available online at www.ticketweb.ca and at Dr. Disc, 471 Ouellette Avenue; Jam Space, 2680 Ouellette Avenue across from Tepperman’s); Healthy Creations Bakery, 333 Dougall Square and at the Windsor and Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation, 2220 Kildare Road.
The proceeds from “Stick It To Cancer” will benefit the Windsor & Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation (the fundraising arm of the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre) for the purchase of a Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) for Cancer diagnostics and for their Seeds4Hope Cancer Research Program), and The Hospice of Windsor and Essex County for community-based services.
To help raise additional funds, an after party event has been organized for after the game on November 26 at The Capitol Theatre, downtown Windsor. Tickets are $22 if purchased in advance and $25 the day of the show for fans over 18. People will get to hang out with all the players and see a great line-up of local bands.
“Local talents include Georgia Rose (sister of Jeff Burrows) Glen MacNeil and Friends, Jackie Robitaille, Pat Robitaille, Sarah Smith (The Joys) and featuring the all-Canadian band THE TREWS!” The Breast Ride Ever Co-Founder Nikki Krieger-Campeau says.
Biz X and In Play magazines will be there and we hope you are too!

NOV 18th SUPER HERO AFTER PARTY FOR SPARKY'S TOY DRIVE
Where Will You Be Friday Nov. 18th?
That’s an easy answer! The Biz X Awards “Super Hero” After Party!
The event, held at St. Clair College Centre for the Arts, 201 Riverside Drive West, is open to the public (you must be over 19 years of age). It begins at 10:30 p.m. right after the 14th annual Biz X awards invite only gala (dinner and awards ceremony) has taken place. 2011 winners can share their glory with friends, family and the business community until 2 a.m.
If you want to promote your company you need to be here! You can meet other business owners and 2011 award winners too. All current Biz X nominees are invited as well to share in the festivities and celebrate their nomination. Please note that you do not have to be a Biz X Award winner, nominee or past winner to attend this After Party – everyone is welcome.
This year we have chosen a “Super Hero” theme because we believe that our winners/nominees (and all Windsor Essex business owners) are real life super heroes as they have kept their businesses going in this tough economy, without the use of any magical powers!
We also know that our local health care/emergency workers, police and firefighters are heroes each and everyday. Therefore, we have chosen again Sparky’s Toy Drive (run by Windsor Fire & Rescue) as our charity recipient.
Admission to attend the After Party is just one new, unwrapped toy. Gift certificates, children’s hats and gloves and cash donations to the fireman’s boot are also needed.
Last year at our “Fire & Ice” After Glow fundraiser, we collected $3,000 in toys and $500 in cash donations. For 2011 we want to double this amount!
To help get as many people out as possible we have booked the band, Drop Dead Famous (www.dropdeadfamous.ca ) which is guaranteed to get our guests in a party mood with their unique blend of pop, rock and dance songs.
Drop Dead Famous also has a “Super Hero” connection as Lead Vocalist Rob Higgins and Bassist Scott Holmes are both local Firefighters. They are joined by Keyboardist Chris Blais (U of W Visual Arts Digital Technician); Guitarist Dave Sinewitz (Pharmacist) and Drummer Chris Holmes (Mechanical Engineer).
The group is currently busy writing original songs and looking to have a demo completed in the new year. But they are ready to rock the After Party this November.
“I have attended the event in the past and it was an awesome time,” says Rob Higgins. “We are really looking forward to playing this year for a great bunch of people.”
Biz X is ready for you boys –as are our major gala suppliers; Joe D’Angela and his team at St. Clair, Designs By Diane, Diversity Productions, TVCogeco and The Trophy Boys.
And in between sets, DJ RAMI, one of White Star Lounge's top dj's is going to be spinning some tunes and giving away door prizes!
