The list for this week is a little light but I have to mention that Small Business Saturday will occur on Saturday, November 29. As you may know, this is a national campaign to bring recognition and to garner support for the small businesses across the country. American Express is a Founding Partner for Small Business Saturday. They are offering an incentive to cardholders that support small businesses, please consult your account online.
