In life there are many choices, some good and some bad. But for the average person the most important will be how to support their family and themselves in a meaningful business or service. Throughout the World in many cities there is the same need for businesses, services, opportunities and investments where employees play an important part in their success or failure. CityCirca is a Historic City Directory that will not appeal to everyone, our focus it to register and document the many individuals who contributed to the growth and success of the businesses, services they were fortunate to work for. Participants moving to various cities can also be listed in other city directories.
Just as important to every business and service are the many unknown individuals who work behind the scene of every operation. Each employee who perform their assigned daily jobs faithfully with no recognition are considered the “Glue” holding those businesses and services together and should be
remembered into their city’s history. Now every city in the country has been faced with a new concern and category, the Coronavirus Pandemic that has involved the affected and taken the lives of many, while continuing to put pressure on First Responders and Essential Workers.
As CityCirca grows our executive committee will review the various categories collecting information of special individuals, businesses and services who should be featured in our monthly presentations. Through these featured presentations the work, success and undocumented works of these
individuals will enable others to follow their example to make their city great.r
