Old Business:
Downtown Clean-up: There will be no downtown clean-up this year due to the Albion Street Dept taking a more proactive role in maintaining alleyways and the Town Manager encouraging businesses to care for their own properties. Chris will contact Phyllis Herendeen to inquire about clean-up at the Saddle Club in anticipation of the upcoming Harvest Fest. (Phyllis would like scheduled for September 13th and that is what Chris emailed the IDOC)
New Business:
October Networking Event: Save the Date - Tuesday, October 17, 5:30-7:30pm
The next high impact member meeting will be at the ARC Noble County Foundations and will be a networking event among local business chamber members to hear what is going on in Albion, with your individual businesses/organizations, and brainstorm how to work together for the benefit of us all. Please save the date! More information will follow. This will also be an opportunity for you to share business cards, flyers, and other information with each other.
Chamber Halloween Party: This event held at the fire station the evening of Halloween is an all play event. Last year we ran out of food and started games early to help with seating issues. The event seems to get bigger all the time. Chris will order 250 hotdogs vs 200 this year and we will once again start games earlier in the evening.
Christmas in the Village: Tammy is coordinating a committee this year with all the separate entities involved (Chamber, STAR team, parade). They will meet in the next couple of weeks to get things going. Last year’s event was such a huge success that we see nothing but potential moving forward and collaborating as one team will make things go much smoother.
Board member opening: With Phil Lock moving out of our area, we have an immediate opening on the board. If you are interested, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Chris via email: Chris.Magnuson@anixter.com
