Angie’s Main Café
Receives Vision 2017 Grants
Angie’s Main Cafe in Shawano, has received Facade and Interior Grants totaling
$6,166 through Shawano Country Vision
2017. The matching grants were awarded to
help cover costs for improvements to the
business front and interior. Improvements
included combining two front entrances into
one creating an attractive and inviting entrance, improving the front and rear exterior
façades, increasing seating space, updating
restrooms, and emphasizing their 1950’s
décor.
Angie Bistoff opened her retro-style diner
in 1998. Her vision was to serve quality
home-cooked meals that not only taste good
but are good for you. Originally home of
Dehn’s Ice Cream Parlor, the diner retains
the horseshoe shaped counter, 1950’s décor,
and friendly atmosphere. Bistoff credited
her friend Matty Mathison for completing
much of the planning and sweat equity invested to transform the space. Since the
beginning of the project, Bistoff has hired
two additional people bringing her total
employee count to 12.
According to Dennis Heling, chief economic development officer for Shawano
County Economic Progress, Inc., the improvements made to Angie’s Main Café
position the diner to attract more customers
and increase sales. “This project allowed
Angie to capitalize on the unique and nostalgic attributes of her business. Focusing
and improving on her uniqueness is something that brings people in and keeps them
returning,” said Heling.
Since 2013, thirty six grants totaling
$125,000 have been awarded to small businesses through the Vision 2017 Façade and
Interior Grant programs. This has stimulated total private investment of over
$920,000. Grants have been awarded to
businesses throughout Shawano County in
the communities of Tigerton, Wittenberg,
Gresham, Eland, Bonduel, and Shawano.
Any employer or entrepreneur operating in
Shawano or Menominee Counties can apply
for Shawano Country Vision 2017 grant
programs. To determine if your project or
business development idea is eligible contact Dennis Heling at 715-526-5839,
scepi@frontiernet.net or Nancy Smith at
715-524-2139, nsmith@shawano.com.

Inc. Chief Economic Development Officer
Shawano Country Vision 2017 is a five-year
economic development plan strategically
designed to address various needs of area
businesses and communities. The plan’s
overall goal is to spur capital investment and
grow the economy by implementing specific
action steps in key areas, including business
expansion, attraction and recruitment; tourism/retail development, workforce issues,
and community development.
This plan was initiated three years ago by
the board of directors of Shawano County
Economic Progress Inc. and the Shawano
Country Chamber of Commerce to proactively tackle economic challenges including
several plant closures, job losses, and lower
than average per capita income. It serves as
one resource for future growth and prosperity and a stronger economic climate for
Shawano and Menominee Counties.

Social Media
and why it
Matters for
Small
Business
46% of online users turn to social media when making a purchasing decision. As the new “word
-ofmouth” marketing, consumers visit sites like Facebook and Twitter and expect to find real, relevant
(and newly posted) content. Heading to a Facebook
page that hasn’t been updated since 2012 makes for
a terrible user experience. With social media becoming more and more influential in guiding prospects
through the sales funnel, this isn’t good.
The ROI of social media? Your business will still exist
in 5 years.
Here are some benefits to being active on social media that we don’t want you to forget:
 Posting on a regular basis
with links to your website will increase traffic flow.
 Search engines like Google
reward activity on social media
sites, giving you more visibility
online.
 The opportunity to connect
with followers allows you to build
lasting relationships.
Lunch & Learn
Will Help Businesses Claim
Free Google Business Listing
The Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with Google to
host a workshop to help businesses get
online and on the map.
The Chamber’s next Lunch & Learn Session “Put Your Business on the (Google) Map” will be held
Thursday, May 5 from 11:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce, 1263 S. Main
Street, Shawano. The fee is $8 per person which includes
a brown bag lunch. Attendees are encouraged, but not
required, to bring their laptop computers or tablets. The
Lunch & Learn workshop will walk attendees through the
process of claiming their businesses on Google. To register visit: http://goo.gl/OBVMyc
We have identified nearly 200 member businesses in the
local area who have not claimed their free business listing on Google. This means that the public trying to reach
those businesses may not be able to find accurate information such as store hours, contact information, pictures
and more.
 Promoting your brand through
social media allows you to share your story. Why
did you open your business? What struggles did
you face? Share the human side of your business and watch engagement grow.
Instead of wasting time posting separately to a variety of social media accounts, our member benefit
Save Local Now lets you do it all in one place. Publish a business promotion on your SLN digital platform and 1-click share it to Facebook, Twitter and

Claiming your business listing on Google is important for
businesses to control the details displayed in Google
searches such as business hours, location, reviews and
images. Businesses that have complete business information online are twice as likely to be considered reputable by consumers.
We want to make sure that every business located in
Shawano Country can be easily found by potential customers searching online. That’s why we are making a
concerted effort to assist businesses to claim their free
business listing on Google.

On Wednesday, April 13, 1,100 students from 19 different
schools attended the 19th Annual 8th Grade Career Fair at the
Clintonville Middle School. This event has grown tremendously over the past few years into one of the largest events
of its kind in Northeastern Wisconsin. Fox Valley Technical
College along with the Clintonville Chamber of Commerce
and Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce organize this
annual event. Over 50 area businesses exhibited and shared
information on careers available within their business. Each
exhibitor represents at least one of the 16 Career Clusters
identified by the Wisconsin Department of Instruction.
Ribbon Cutting
This exposure to area careers is an important piece of the
workforce development puzzle. When young students realize
there are many careers available locally, they may be more
likely to stay in this area after their schooling.
Students prepared prior to attending the event by completing
an “Interest Inventory”, which helped them pinpoint their top
three Career Cluster picks. They then identified what businesses/organizations attending the event matched their top
Career Clusters. At the Career Fair they had the opportunity
to talk with real people working within the industry. The area
technical colleges--Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) and
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC)-- along with
College of Menominee Nation, also attended the event. Students talked to the exhibitors about what type of training/
education they need to do a certain job/career and could then
visit the college booths to learn more about what programs
they offer that would help them in their career goals.
Navarino Nature Center recently celebrated its 30th anniversary
with a special dedication and ribbon cutting of the new
Accessible Exploring Habitats Boardwalk & Trail.
Exhibitors set up hands-on, interactive booths, which allowed
the students to really explore what a potential career might be
like. All of the exhibitors attend the event on their own time by
volunteering to be part of this event for the students. The
Career Fair allows students to see all the different career
opportunities they have right here within their communities.
Thanks to our Chamber members and other area businesses
that participated.

Rural Communities in Shawano
County Get Fit
Use it or lose it! That’s the philosophy behind Strong Women, Strong Bones, an evidence-based strength training
program that improves bone density, increases flexibility and strength, reduces falls and improves arthritis symptoms.
The program began in Shawano County in 2014 with one class of 30 participants. It has grown to 14 classes, and 450
participants throughout the county. Through an SACF grant, additional trained instructors and equipment will be added
in order to expand the program to five more communities in rural Shawano County.
Nancy Schulz is a Family Living Educator with Shawano County UW-Extension, and coordinator of the Strong Women,
Strong Bones program. According to Schultz, the program addresses mental as well as physical health. “Studies have
shown that regular exercise improves mood and attitude, decreases depression and increases energy level. Our goal is to
help participants stay strong, enjoy others' company and build a new circle of friends,” says Schultz.
Contact us to learn how we can help you give back to
your community today and for generations to come.
