Santa Cruz SCORE

Spring is here! So glad the sun has been shining. Lately I’ve been photographing a lot more than just weddings and portraits. Last week I photographed these businesses for an upcoming SCORE brochure. If you are a small business owner and need help or advice with your business, check out SCORE. They helped me write my business plan over 10 years ago. Staffed by retired business leaders, they offer solutions and guidance. These are a few of SCORE’s Santa Cruz success stories.

Jack Trageser, owner, trainer, School of Disc Golf.

Before meeting Jack I really didn’t know anything about disc golf. We met at the disc golf course above De Laveaga Golf Course. This sunny hilltop course was created by donations and volunteer labor and is considered a world class course. As a matter of fact, the Pro Disc Golf World Championship will be held here in August. What a beautiful place! Basically, players use a frisbee and move around the course similar to conventional golfing. Below Jack is pictured throwing the frisbee in the basket.

Zach and Kendra, entrepreneurs and owners of the Penny Ice Creamery located in downtown Santa Cruz.

After using SCORE to help them with their business plan, Kendra and Zach made a thank you video to President Obama and others for the American Recovery and Investment Act, which helped fund their dream. The video has been seen by 1000s of people and they received a call from Vice President Biden and were invited to the White House!

SCORE also has a radio show on KSCO that airs on Tuesdays.

Also included in the brochure are CORE Fitness and several other businesses.

If you need photos for a brochure, marketing piece or a new headshot, give me a call. Rebecca Stark 831-325-4183 www.rebeccastarkphotography.com
