While it would be impossible to describe in this column what they all do, you can experience for yourself the diverse businesses participating in this year’s Business Expo, which takes place from 5-8 p.m. next Wednesday at Verdugo Hills Hospital. However, here’s a little preview.

As you travel down the aisles, you will notice the abundance of info from Edison and the Water District. Weather the way it is, they could give you some very helpful hints for free.

For those of you wondering where your service vehicles travel to, or what’s going on when you’re not at the office, check out Sintel Systems.

Need immediate help at work? Talk to Renta-CEO.

Too busy to cook on a daily basis? Then take a look at Dream Dinners. Bring your favorite moms with you and make it a fun night.

Several health services will be there offering suggestions. Of course, Verdugo Hills Hospital can give you a lot of this. Anthony Chiropractic will help relax your achy bones. Relay For Life helps you and many others. Lots of Pets Superstore (oh yes, our pets are very important) will give info for our friends and Verdugo Vista is vital for family and friends.

We offer fun, too. For your journey, Montrose Travel and the Auto Club can take you just about anywhere in the world. Talk to Cal National Bank about savings or a loan.
