DESCRIPTION:In recognition of May as Small Business Month, a few San Francisco 
 nonprofits that help diverse entrepreneurs and small businesses owners will 
 be recognized for their achievements at an open house event on May 29th. 
 The event, showcasing the work of La Cocina, Renaissance Entrepreneurship 
 Center and Urban Solutions, will be held on Friday, May 29 at 9:30 a.m. at 
 La Cocina in San Francisco's Mission district. \n\nJoin other small 
 business owners, would-be-entrepreneurs, and all interested in economic 
 development to hear success stories and client testimonials from all three 
 organizations. Coffee and light refreshments will be served. The showcase 
 at La Cocina's commercial kitchen incubator will feature information on 
 programs that each organization offers to help entrepreneurs.\n\nAT&T 
 provided each organization with a $25,000 contribution to support their 
 programs that improve and strengthen economic opportunities for diverse, 
 small business owners. The funding was made possibly through the company's 
 Micro Enterprise Technical Assistance Program (MTAP), designed to help 
 strengthen the operations and improve the sustainability of disadvantaged 
 self-employed and small-business owners in California. \n\nLa Cocina, 
 Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and Urban Solutions all offer training 
 and business development to low- to moderate-income business owners who are 
 starting up or growing their businesses. \n\nUrban Solutions' executive 
 director Jenny McNulty notes, "We encourage anyone who has ever considered 
 starting their own business or any current business owners who could use 
 more help to come and learn more about what Renaissance, La Cocina and 
 Urban Solutions have to offer."\n\nSpeakers include:\n*Lynn Bunim, 
 Executive Director of External Affairs at AT&T\n*Sharon Miller, CEO of 
 Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center\n*Caleb Zigas, Director of Operations, 
 La Cocina\n*Jenny McNulty, Executive Director, Urban Solutions\n*Various
