| Greetings!
The leaves outside our office are turning and visitors are
calling to find out where to view cranberry harvesting -- it's
autumn on Cape Cod. We here at the Cape Cod Chamber are busy working
on the 2003 Official Guide to Cape Cod (Please note that the
advertising deadline is next Wednesday, October 16) and our Fall
Workshop series among lots of other things.
This enewsletter is our way of letting you know the
opportunities, upcoming events and more that come across our desks

| Fall Morning Series for Business Owners &
Managers |
 |
 Attendees at the first of the fall morning business
workshop series liked its informal format and called it
informative, relevant, and well-presented.
This Wednesday, October 16, is our second offering: Make
Time--It's Real Money. Jim Sampson from Transamerica
Retirement Serivces, Marybeth Prescott from BAP-RAP Insurance
Agency, and Kurt Czarnowski from the Social Security
Administration are the presenters who will focus on customized
retirement plans, profit sharing plans, industry trends and
new regulatory development. Of particular interest for small
businesses is the BIZ PLAN. Those employers maximizing the
benefits offered by this plan include family-owned sole
proprietorships, partnerships, closely held corporations and
LLC. Employers may offer the benefits of the Plan to any
unrelated employee and still realize a 100% deduction for the
employer-paid health costs. Find out how to free funds for
your business, and catch up quickly for retirement in flexible
ways at reasonable costs.
The workshop will be held at the Cape Cod Five on Rte 151,
Mashpee, from 8 - 9:30. Coffee and donuts will be provided.

 You may have seen the cozy green fleece vests that were
given to the golfers in our 5th Annual Cape Cod Golf Classic
-- did you know that even if you couldn't make it to the
tourney, you too could own one?
Or how about the striking blue Cape Cod windshirts the Cape
Cod Chamber staff wore at our annual meeting aboard the Great
Point? We had lots of people wondering where they could get
there own...

| Census Bureau Gets Down to Business: Millions of Firms
to Be Counted in 2002 Economic Census |
 |
| The Commerce Department's Census Bureau will send
questionnaires to more than 5 million businesses in December,
launching the 2002 Economic Census, which Federal Reserve
Board Chairman Alan Greenspan has called, "indispensable to
understanding America's economy." The Economic Census, taken
every five years, "assures the accuracy of the statistics we
rely on for sound economic policy and for successful business
planning," said Greenspan.
"The Economic Census produces our most widely-used business
statistics," said Kathleen B. Cooper, Under Secretary of
Commerce for Economic Affairs. "It is the primary benchmark
for measurement of 96 percent of our Gross Domestic Product
(GDP)."
The Economic Census also provides the foundation for
reports on hundreds of industries and data for states,
counties and places - even some for ZIP-Codes.
Businesses, communities, and governments use Economic
Census data for planning and market development. Reports and
statistics are published on the Census Bureau's Internet site
.
