I’m happy to announce the launch of Auld Country Tours website!

The Dream

James Johnson – now Owner and Tour Director of Auld Country Tours – has been leading tour groups to Europe since 2007. Together with his wife Kim, they decided to launch out, follow their dreams and establish Auld Country Tours Inc. – a premier touring company – destination: United Kingdom. With tours already booked, the website was put on high priority.

I’m happy to announce today’s launch of TAZZU Business Networking Community.

Today was indeed a big day, and yet very possibly only the beginning of better things to come.

TAZZU a pet project of JenTekk Web Solutions was originally founded back in 2006. In 2010 an unfortunate turn of events took TAZZU offline and left the Members looking for alternative ways to network.

Many suns have risen and set since the inception of TAZZU back in 2006.

ACT I: Humble Beginnings

Being a business owner myself I empathized with other entrepreneurs wishing to run a successful business, and trying to generate leads for employment opportunities.

In 2004 I discovered the power of networking.

Attending networking breakfasts, and engaging in online communities and participating in events opened up a new world of opportunity and resource. One where I could contribute to, and receive from other business owners.

It was this awakening in 2006 that led me to create the TAZZU Networking Forums.

With the forum built, 21 invitations sent, and the support of 4 amazing moderators, a safe environment was created for the members to network, exchange ideas, and ultimately make connections that could grow their businesses.

It wasn’t long before we had a thriving & vibrant networking community!

Look at what arrived in the mailbox today! A copy of the book “Express Yourself!” a compilation of the top 30 winning stories from last year’s B.C. Kids Writing Contest!

In short: last June JenTekk received an email from the Ministry of Education inquiring about creating a website for an online kids writing contest they were sponsoring. The contest was to be a part of a province-wide celebration: the BC Library Association’s 100th Anniversary!

I jumped at the opportunity. Having designed BCLA’s Kids Summer Reading Club’s websites since 2006 – and enjoying it full tilt – I couldn’t resist!

As a token of their appreciation, the Ministry of Education they sent me this copy of the commemorative book.

Thank you to BCLA, Ministry of Education and Province of BC for this delightful token of your appreciation, and for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful celebration!
