MicroEnterprise supports three

FORT MYERS -- The Southwest Florida MicroEnterprise project presented three program graduates with grant assistance for their locally run small businesses.

Christa Lemonakis is the founder of Extend & Mend International, a wig and hair extension distributor; Mark Pasek invented the Tag Along Dolly, a hand truck that attaches to trailer hitches; and Raquel Mendoza will soon open a new massage and spa practice.

The MicroEnterprise project provided Lemonakis and Pasek each with a $2,500 grant, and says Mendoza will receive grant funding “in the coming weeks” as well.
