A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO
Where has this summer gone? The county fair is over, school is beginning, and water cooler discussion has started about football season.
To be honest, though, this is my favorite time of year. I love the change of this season. As warm days turn into cool nights and the trees begin to prepare for their spot in the sun as they change color.
Speaking of sun...I hope everyone is preparing for the solar eclipse on Monday. There are several viewing parties around the area. As others are warning, take precautions and do not look directly at the sun without proper protection. I can remember when I was a kid making some kind of box and watching the shadow on the sidewalk. It's a neat experience and doesn't happen in our lifetimes often, so enjoy and be safe.
This time of year, also, is when we start to work on our fall events and we have two you will not want to miss. The first is the annual Women's Conference. This year the theme is F.E.A.R - Face Everything And Rise. It's an event not to miss. The lineup of speakers, both local and national, are superb. Plan on making Thursday, Sept. 7th, the day to empower, improve, and encourage. I can't stress enough how much this event will change and fill your life. Ladies, don't miss out. More information and registration can be found within this newsletter.
Secondly, it's time to start getting your miniature golf team together. Our 2nd annual Putt'in On The Ritz is gearing up for our fall downtown miniature golf classic. Eighteen businesses will have holes prepared and teams of 4 will be putting around town on Wednesday, Oct. 25th. Get your team and costumes ready for this evening of fun.
Over the next several weeks, our city leaders will be continuing discussion about some important topics that could affect business and residents in our community. Recycling may be coming back to our city and work is progressing to have that in place sometime in 2018. Talks are still ongoing on the possibility of making Second Street in the downtown two-way again. And the city also is continuing negotiations that would help with those seeking building permits and inspections to have an easier process. We'll keep up on all of these items and let you know what is transpiring.
Have a great weekend.

2 SPOTS REMAIN FOR B.I.G. LEADERSHIP CLASS, REGISTER NOW
It's hard to believe that it is that time of year again. We are currently taking applications for our Chamber B.I.G. (Business, Industry, & Government) Leadership Class. We are filling up quickly, so please reach out to me as soon as possible with your candidate name so I can secure their spot. We are switching things up a little and bringing back Steve Hummel of Transitions Unlimited to work with our group on some leadership topics. The B.I.G class meets once per month, starting in September and finishing in May. We travel to sites such as Horizon, Infosight, the State Capitol Building, Kenworth, Adena Health System, Glatfelter, and several more. Class members will have the opportunity to meet with business leaders and CEOs at the sites and talk with them about their leadership styles, challenges, and also tour the facilities. We will also work on some team building exercises and leadership skills. Call me to talk about this unique opportunity! We only have 14 spots available for the class and over half of them are filled already.
