The business-to-business meeting for May was stuffed with agenda
items. The Memorial Day parade and the fireworks display on the beach
still needed volunteers to make sure the festival ran smoothly. Darla Taylor,
our marketing maven and owner/operator of the South Cove Winery, was
wrangling as smoothly as a tenured politician for committee placements. It
was too bad Mayor Baylor—or his wife, Tina—wasn’t here to see the way
community activism should be handled.

Since Darla was running the meeting, I’d been ignoring the discussion
and quietly working on outlining my last paper, on community
development, for my business ethics class. I was using South Cove’s
business-to-business group as my example of what happens when people
work together for the greater good. Not having the town politicians here
helped make my case that towns could be managed by a council of civicminded business owners rather than elected officials. What? It was my
fantasy, and no one but my professor would see the paper anyway.
If Mayor Baylor happened to read my paper, he’d think I was staging a
revolution during my two-hour monthly meeting and would probably attend
every meeting after he’d read it. That wouldn’t be in my best interest,
especially since I couldn’t stand the guy.
Anyway, I had one more paper, and I’d have those three little letters
after my name, Jill Gardner, MBA. Not as impressive as a PhD or even the
JD I’d already earned after I finished my law degree, but I was running my
dream business. I owned South Cove’s only bookstore: Coffee, Books, and
More. And better, I almost owned the brick building the store was housed
in.
The building where our monthly meeting was still droning on. The
coffee carafes were empty, and all the treats I’d put out at the beginning had
been devoured. The mayor had decreased my treat budget last year, so I
limited the amount I set out. I could buy the cookies cheaper at the grocery
store in Bakerstown, but I wanted to continue to support Pies on the Fly, my
friend Sadie’s bakery. As it was, I didn’t put any markup on the treats or the
coffee from my bookstore, a decision my aunt didn’t agree with. I told her it
was my donation to the cause.
