Pass It On

### What to Expect at Our First Pass It On Meeting Welcome to the **very first gathering of Pass It On Christian Business Fellowship**. This is the beginning of something new, and we’re excited to have you at the table as we begin building this fellowship together. Our vision is to create a trusted community of Christian business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals who can **grow in faith, sharpen one another in business, and genuinely help each other succeed.** Because this is our **first meeting**, the evening will be relaxed and focused on getting to know one another. We’ll share the vision behind Pass It On, open with prayer and Scripture, introduce ourselves and our businesses, discuss some of the challenges and opportunities we are facing, and begin discovering ways we can help one another through **advice, mentorship, referrals, introductions, resources, and prayer**. We’ll also introduce our **“Iron Sharpens Iron”** principle: creating a place where we can have honest conversations, learn from one another’s experiences, and become stronger Christian leaders and businesspeople together. **Snacks and refreshments will be provided.** Bring your business cards, but more importantly, bring your experience, your ideas, and a willingness to build genuine relationships. There is **no pressure to sell**. Since this is our first gathering, we also want your ideas and feedback as we shape what Pass It On will become. Our starting principle is simple: **Come to give before you come to get.** **One Faith. One Purpose. One Body.** **Blessed to Be a Blessing.** **Give. Sharpen. Grow. Pass It On.**

Not only did we get to see the actual steps (and equipment) to make BEAUTUFUL silk flowers, but we got to hear about a family’s history and how the business came to be. I learned so much. Walking home last night, I passed a store on the UES than had some silk (or otherwise) flowers strewn in its window. Thanks to the instruction from Adam Brand, I was easily able to identify them as NOT M&S Schmalberg’s flowers. I didn’t realize how many of their lovely flowers I’ve already seen on favorite TV shows and runways and galas. Thank you!" -Linda "The owner giving the tour, the family story, and seeing the workroom. Super interesting." -Kala "Adam is so passionate about the business, the heritage and present and future. He was fantastic." -Dena "This was so special! It's rare to see inside a family owned factory like this, especially in NYC." -Justin "Loved that they took the time to let us into their private workspace. Interesting and beautiful creations!" -Margaret "Resonate tour and history of a vintage business still operating." -Gabriella "A rare look inside a historic NYC industry." -Jerry "The opportunity to see a working factory. Guide had lots of stories about his family and the business and was willing to allow photos." -Meryl "One of the very best trips I’ve ever taken with you. The machines they’ve used for a hundred years still in use today was fascinating. Completely authentic — workers making flowers as we walked through. A trip that truly surpassed expectations. Nice shopping opportunity at the end too!" -Deb **Disclaimer** Event takes place rain or shine.
