Local business benefits from Rotary Micro-Credit Program

Acacia Organics business owners, Judy Zabielski and Laura Mueller, are thankful to the Barrington Breakfast Rotary Club's (BBRC) Micro-Credit program that helped them finance the store inventory in preparation for the holiday shopping season.

“The Micro-Credit we received helped us to fill our store with healthy gifts. The personal care they showed us was so touching and we are very appreciative that they are helping to spread the word about our valuable services,” says Judy.

The Barrington Breakfast Rotary Club's Micro-Credit Program focuses on creating new sources of income and is more personal and customized to the opportunity at hand. At its core, the Micro-Credit Program is about helping people working to help themselves.

“The BBRC Micro-Credit program focuses on small loans to local entrepreneurs. BBRC's motivation is to provide opportunity for people to start or expand an income-generating business venture,” says Narayan Murarka, BBRC's Past President. A limited number of loans, with a maximum amount of $5,000, are granted at a modest interest rate - prime plus two points.

Beauty from the inside out is achieved through good nutrition, exercise and constantly detoxifying oneself in a world where we are exposed to pollution, toxins, and chemicals on a daily basis.
