October is here! Fall is in the air – the leaves are turning, the air is cooler, crops are being harvested and (hallelujah!) it is football season! And - finally and thankfully – some long-awaited Chamber events are happening.
Our Annual Awards Ceremony on 9/10 was a success! Congratulations to the seven individuals who were honored that night and to the 83 Chamber member businesses who celebrated a Business Achievement Award this year! To see the complete listing, along with videos of the awards ceremonies, please visit our website, www.defiancechamber.com, click the Events tab and select Awards Banquet.
Thank you to everyone who helped make last week’s Chamber Golf Outing such a success! From our sponsors to our 100 golfers to our door prize donors to our volunteers – we appreciate you all!
Next up is our Leadercast Speaker Series! Typically a one-day in-person event, we are now offering a convenient virtual speaker series over the next several weeks. Magic Johnson kicks it off on October 16th! Be sure to see the flyer below to register for any or all of the nine sessions.
October also marks the start of the 4th quarter of the business year. As we move into the final months of 2020, I encourage you to continue to shop local and support our local businesses and
establishments. Together we will continue to help make Defiance a great place to live!
Wishing you all a safe, healthy, and prosperous October!
