Our Lady of the Lakes at 5481 Dixie Highway, Waterford, MI 48329 US - LAKER2LAKER BUSINESS DIRECTORY

Due to the positive response received from the parish community and Parish Council, we are now ready to proceed with compiling and distributing the business directory introduced in the parish bulletin on February 22nd:

Establish a database containing the names and contact information for businesses and services that OLL parish members either own or work for.

¨ Focus would be on commodities and services that most of us use already, but given the lousy and uncertain economic conditions, as a community we may be able to use the companies owned by or employing our fellow parishioners, and in turn helping to keep our fellow members employed.

¨ The list of probable categories of products/services will certainly be large, but would encompass most of the items that most households would have a need for, such as:  Accountants, Financial Advisors, Insurance, Auto Repair/Sales, Landscapers, Electricians, Carpenters/handymen, Plumbers, Lawyers, Realtors, Tutors, Beauticians, Painters, Store owners, Medical Professionals, etc.

¨ By providing such a database, with no cost to the businesses or our parish, it will at the very least, let the OLL community be aware that by choosing the companies that our fellow OLL members get their livelihood from, for items that we already purchase anyway, maybe we could as a community make a small difference and help each other out.

The next step is for any interested business to complete and return an information form.  The form is available, and can be obtained by sending an email to laker2laker@comcast.net.  The form will be emailed to you, and when returned will be incorporated into the directory.  In addition to interested businesses, any parish member who desires to receive a copy of the directory upon completion, or would like some additional information, please send an email to the email address above, and you will be added to the distribution list. 

Thanks for your interest, and we look forward to providing a vehicle through which the Laker family can help each other out, not only in these turbulent economic times, but on an ongoing basis going forward!!!
