Paoli, PA - September 4, 2003 - Wellhaven Gifts for Seniors has been invited to participate in the Small Business Administration's celebration of its 50th anniversary. The company will exhibit at the SBA's National Entrepreneurial Conference and Expo (NECE) scheduled for September 17-19, 2003 in Washington, D.C. The event will feature companies who provide services to small businesses and selected entrepreneurs from throughout the country who have benefited from SBA programs.

"The spirit of entrepreneurialism is the spirit of America, and it has added incredible strength to our national fabric," said SBA Administrator Hector V. Barreto. "That's what the National Entrepreneurial Conference is all about - drawing attention to the contributions of America's small businesses."

Wellhaven Gifts for Seniors (www.wellhaven.com) offers unique and useful gifts that enable easier every day living for Senior Citizens. They sell items for the home and garden, car and travel, arthritis, vision, hearing, entertainment and social interaction.

"We are pleased to be among the entrepreneurs that will be exhibiting at the SBA expo," stated Patricia Curry, President of Wellhaven, LLC. "It is always inspiring to interact with those who have benefited from SBA assistance. Our local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) helped us prepare for the transition to the small business environment after long careers in corporate America. They continue to provide guidance for strategic business growth."

The Small Business Development Centers are a network of college and university based business assistance centers. The SBDC's provide high-quality management consulting, training and information to help entrepreneurs start, compete and thrive in today's highly competitive global economy.

The NECE will also feature a special event, Celebrating Women in Business, honoring the remarkable achievements of women in business. According to the SBA, women-owned businesses are growing at twice the rate of all U.S. businesses. There are 9.1 million women-owned businesses in the U.S., generating $3.6 trillion in revenue and employing 27.5 million workers. "On behalf of all female entrepreneurs," said Curry, "we are proud to make such an important contribution to the American economy."
