Last week’s feature presentation was from member Gary Towne of Vision Pro Optical who shared an in-depth look at polarized sunglasses and why they make such a major difference. Gary explained how polarization reduces glare, improves clarity, protects your eyes from harmful UV rays, and allows you to see depth and color more accurately, especially while driving, hunting, fishing, or spending long days outdoors.

Thank you Gary for the valuable education on eye protection and quality lens technology!

If you’re looking to upgrade your eyewear and see the difference polarization makes Vision Pro is your go to!

Recently at BNI Wood City member Sarah Boynton from Frandsen Bank & Trust gave an informative presentation on commercial lending and what business owners should know when it comes to securing funding for growth.

Sarah explained how having a strong local banking relationship matters just as much as the loan itself and how Frandsen partners with businesses locally to help them expand, invest, and take the next step with confidence.

Thank you Sarah for sharing your expertise and helping us better understand the lending process, what lenders look for, and how to be prepared as business owners.

If you’re a business in the Northland looking to grow, we’d be happy to connect you with Sarah!
