Chamber Board of Directors Announcement |

The Board of Directors of the Greater Medina Chamber of Commerce recently met and have taken a position of support for the upcoming Medina County Health Department’s Health Levy on the May 3rd ballot.
Through research, discussion and interviews with officials, the board of directors determined that the renewal and increase in the current levy is necessary to maintain the core funding for many programs that benefit both businesses and residents of Medina County. The board believes that the Health Department has presented the most cost-effective option to maintain the level of service that is necessary to foster a healthy county in which to live, work, and play.

Great Race coming to Medina June 21!
The Great Race, sponsored by Hemmings Motor News, Hagerty Drivers Club, Reliance Carriers, Inc, and Coker Tire, is coming to Medina on June 21, 2022. The event was started in 1983, and it takes its name from the 1965 movie The Great Race.
The Great Race is the country's oldest, longest running, and richest vintage automobile event. This year's 9-day, 2,300-mile adventure begins in Warrick, Rhode Island and finishes in Fargo, North Dakota. The event is free to the public and has a Spirit of Americana theme. The race will bring 120 vintage Great Race vehicles from all over the world to the Medina Square on June 21, 2022, between the hours of 12:30pm and 3:30pm. Teams from around the world driving vintage cars older than 1974, with most entries manufactured before World War II, are challenged by this grueling race.

It’s not uncommon to hear old timers (of any age) complain that young people don’t have it as hard as they did. It’s a common lament that younger generations are not as battle worn as the Silent Generation.
Whether that is true or not remains to be seen.
But the one thing that is true is that people will not do business with you if you make it hard to do business. There’s just too much competition and not enough interest.
To attract sales and become interested in your business, you want people to know, like, and trust you. Once they are interested, your work isn’t complete. You want to make it easy on them to do business.
If you’re doing the following things in business, you may be missing sales because you are making it too hard.
