Message from the
President to the SBA
SBA's 50th
Anniversary. Empowering America's Entrepreneurs
Since 1953
 The
year 2003 was a great milestone for the U.S. Small
Business Administration (SBA); it is our 50th
Anniversary.
This milestone presents us
with an opportunity to celebrate the incredible
contributions that small businesses have made to
this great Nation.
Since the founding of our
country, small businesses have contributed
immeasurably to our progress and economic strength.
Small business is an enduring symbol of the
American Dream. 50 years, the SBA has played a
vital role in ensuring that the door to the
American Dream is truly open to all entrepreneurs,
because the dream should never be limited by access
to capital, information or training. In America, an
entrepreneur's only limit should be his or her own
ideas and desire to succeed.
Please join me in
celebrating America's small businesses, and the
SBA's commitment to help entrepreneurs keep that
American Dream alive and well for today, and for
future generations.
Sincerely,
Hector V. Barreto
Administrator

the Air Highways to California's Inland

Inland Empire at the Com-Dex Trade Show in
Vancouver, and were impressed by their program. For
that reason we invite you to contact them for
further information, The following is an excerpt
from material they sent to our Info
Desk:
 From
wildlife to nightlife, the Inland Empire has it
all. And if you're looking for adventure, look no
further. The Inland Empire Tourism Council is
pleased to offer this directory of opportunities
for fun and adventure in Southern California's
Inland Empire: The Inland Empire has a varied
landscape of chaparral-covered deserts, mile-high
apple ordchards, snow-cap
Perfect settings for
adventure.
The San Bernardino National Forest offers
endless opportunities for outdoor fun. Cities rich
in heritage offer visitors a glimpse of the
Victorian era, while Calico Ghost Town preserves
the romance of the Old West. You'll find it all
here: from a sunrise flight in a hot-air balloon to
a hike along the Pacific Crest Tail; from a quiet
ride in a horse-drawn carriage to parachuting from
a plane. Where else can you water ski on a quiet
lake in the morning and skim down snowy ski runs in
the afternoon? The sun-kissed Inland Empire gets it
all--great weather, tourist attractions, year-round
recreation and prize-winning wines. Adventure is
always in season here.
