We would like to say thank you to Gayle for hosting the Chambers latest Open House. It was fascinating to see the variety that Phantom Screens has to turn most any outdoor space into a fantastic screened in room. Grapes above the Centerville Pub provided a quaint and cozy space to relax and savor the specially selected wines and to network with other members. The paring of specialty cheeses enhanced the enjoyment and the dark chocolate for wine was a real treat. Again thank you to Phantom Screens and Grapes for a great event.

Thank you to Sycamore for hosting the latest Chamber Open House. The lobby was a perfect place for the event. The activity in the lobby added to the entire experience. We would like to express a special thank you to Michael Smith the new President of the Medical Center and Chamber Board of Directors, who graciously took time out of his busy schedule to personally great each guest. We were treated to a great continental breakfast and tours of several of the Centers Departments. One of the most impressive was the Sleep Diagnostic Center. This department features large bedrooms for the patients and each has its own spacious private bath. We would also like to thank Kathy Keys for coordinating the event and arranging for the tours. It was a great event and was enjoyed by all who attended.

Soraya Farms Open House

The gray evening sky may have precluded the scheduled pool party but it did not force the ribbon cutting inside. Thank you to the Clearcreek Township Trustees who participated. Thank you also to Angela, Lauren, and Peter, for making us all feel right at home in the beautiful Community Center. The Great Room featuring granite counter tops, cozy fireplace and the enormous flat screen TV was a great venue to host a networking event. The food and beverage not only added to the event, but was very much enjoyed by all. It was great to see quite a few new faces among those in attendance. Welcome and be sure to come to more Chamber events in the future. Thank you again to Soraya Farms and all at the Design Homes Group.

Sam’s Club was transformed to a tropical paradise for their annual Tiki Party. With lots of fresh flowers and rose petals on the tables, it was like being in on a tropic isle. As always the staff and management were hospitable and helpful. This made for a very relaxed setting for networking and enjoying the fantastic breakfast spread which also included many healthy items. It was great to see so many members and guests join the festivities especially at seven thirty in the morning. This is always a wonderful event and a marvelous way to start the day. Thank you again to the staff and management of Sam’s Club for a job well done.
