Wisconsin business owners, you can help beat the recession and help yourselves by "paying it forward".
Take a hint from Wasau, Wisconsin child care business owner Debbie Mohelnitzky, aged 51. Debbie, who owns Alphabet Soup Child Care II, knew many out of work parents were having a hard time looking for a job because they had no one to watch their kids and couldn't afford child care while out of work.
This past March 16-20, Debbie offered a free half-day of child care (for kids 4 weeks to 12 years of age) to parents actively looking for work. The only catch was those who took advantage of the offer had to later "pay it forward" by doing a favor for someone else.
Currently, Debbie is hoping to repeat her offer in the near future, offering a full day of child care at no charge so parents can schedue more job interviews and appointments.
What can your Wisconsin business do to meet Debbie Mohelnitzky's challenge to help beat the recession and "pay it forward"?
