    Hello to all from someone that spends more time reading and listening
    to thoughts of others than speaking. Several years ago, as the
    thought of retirement from a "day job" started crossing my mind, what
    to do with all the "free time" became important. There was an
    entrepreneurial expo in a local city to help anyone wanting to work
    for themselves. All of the usual candidates were theRe: McDonalds
    and the rest of the fast food vendors, the travel industry, some
    companies that would give you the moon if you built your own rocket
    ship to get there, etc. A few of the vendors were from the shipping
    sector, those places where you can drop an item off and have it sent
    almost anywhere by any means. One of the major leaders offered an
    all-inclusive license to become a franchisee (site selection,
    building permits, building construction or renovation, staff
    training, supplies, start-up advertising, etc.). If several Orchid
    members in a given geographic area were interested in this option
    (and I am NOT offering any business venture) they could form a
    limited partnership for that franchise and thereby have a handy
    shipping/receiving point. 

Just thoughts.
Jim Good
