  Letter from the President
 
The Tallmadge Chamber of Commerce is hosting very special upcoming community events.
Megan Thompson of Thompson Hummel Insurance is heading the Home Coming Dance Committee. The Homecoming Dance is on November 18, 2017 in the Venue at Tallmadge Circle. It will be a great night of fine dining and dancing with the area’s favorite Band “Buck Naked”.

Rhonda Moffatt of Child Scape Learn and Grow is the chair of the “Santa on the Circle” Committee. Santa and Mrs. Claus are coming back to the Community Center at 80 Community Drive on Sunday December 3, 2017. Cookies and activities for the children will abound. This year, if you purchase raffle tickets, you could win the grand prize, a Children’s Hospital Christmas tree.

I wanted to personally thank Jon Kozesky, our new Executive Director and Becky Allman, our Administrative Assistant. Their hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. We are lucky to have their
expertise and energy.
