I joined the Calvert County Chamber of Commerce and Prince Frederick Chapter of&amp;nbsp; BNI (Business Network International) in the last couple of months. I'm also building relationships with local business in my town of Lusby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most people who have lived in Calvert County or Southern Maryland their entire life this may not seem like a big deal. However, my father was an Air Force pilot until I graduated from high school. I swore I would never move again after he retired. Never say never. I attended three different colleges and moved 27 times before I married my husband. Interestingly, he was a Naval officer at the time we married but we've never moved in the ten years we've been married. He retired and took a job here so we don't see ourselves moving again until the kids are out of high school. Maybe not even then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that my kids are fairly self-sufficient, I'm returning to my true passions in life. I love to write! And I love to be an advocate for others. Thus my idea to create a blog about local businesses in Southern Maryland was born. I don't just want to blog about the business, I want to introduce you to what these businesses do, who works in them and hopefully provide residents of Southern Maryland some information, entertainment and value. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, stay tuned.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1682188984269113541-4311895327845099373?l=southernmarylandinsight.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernmarylandinsight.blogspot.com/feeds/4311895327845099373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://southernmarylandinsight.blogspot.com/2010/03/introduction-to-southern-maryland.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1682188984269113541/posts/default/4311895327845099373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1682188984269113541/posts/default/4311895327845099373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernmarylandinsight.blogspot.com/2010/03/introduction-to-southern-maryland.html' title='Introduction to Southern Maryland Businesses and The People Behind Them'/><author><name>Corrie Howe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02107352260276921770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PwOFTyHR1fg/Sm5NUF1D-fI/AAAAAAAAAAY/TP0VLHeG8Rk/S220/IMG_0392.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
