Chamber-of-Commerce September Luncheon - 2009

The monthly Chamber-of-Commerce Luncheon was held yesterday, Sept. 24, at the Dairy Queen on 3rd St. in Wellsville. The luncheon was kicked off with Chamber President Randy Allmon welcoming everybody & Paul Blevins offering the invocation.

A special welcome was given to new member Tony DeAngelo. Tony has recently retired from the State Auditor's Office and has offered his expertise with grants to the Chamber. DeAngelo said his job mostly consisted of auditing federal grants. He is vastly familiar with the ins & outs of grants.

Several announcements were made beginning with the upcoming meeting with Heritage Ohio officials and Wellsville's Revitalization Committee. The Heritage Ohio Foundation is a state wide non-profit organization. They are located in Columbus and are dedicated to the historic preservation and revitalization of Main Street Ohio. They coordinate various projects throughout the state. That meeting is scheduled to take place October 1.

A reminder was given for the October 3rd Howlin' Harvest Moon Festival at the Alley Cat Aid Brigade facilities on Commerce Street. It is jointly sponsored by the Chamber and will be held from 11 A.M. to 7. See my article dated Sept. 9 for the details.

A date will be set for the October Citizens of the Year Dinner once an available date can be confirmed with the key-note speaker. There's still time to get your business' name in the new County Chamber's CC Visitor's Guide. It's an all new glossy booklet to be published and made available in the near future. If interested contact Diana Spencer at 330-532-5062 for rates and details.

Holley Development will be hosting a Taste of the Holidays event on November 7 from 11 A.M. - 7 P.M. There will be cookies, cakes, candy and crafts available to fill all your holiday needs. It will be held at their facilities on Main St. That's the old Perpetual Bank location.

Air Waves will be hosting a Halloween party at DaLonzo's on Saturday, Oct. 31. from 8 P.M. til ???. Beverly & Lon will be spinning tunes and have the karaoke set up. Lite snacks & refreshments will be provided. There will be a 50/50 drawing and door prizes. Awards will be given for the funniest, the scariest & the most creative costumes. There will be three awards for each category. Nick & his co-workers will also have their kitchen in full swing. Tickets are $5 in advance & $7 at the door. Advance tickets are available at Air Waves next door to Holley Development.

Mary Morse representing the Potter Players Community Theater announced they currently are in rehearsals getting ready to put on the Robert Harling play Steel Magnolias. There will be two week-end performances starting Oct. 17 at the theater on 15th St. The last announcement was that the annual Christmas Parade will be held December 12 starting at 6 P.M.

Martin, MacLean, Altmeyer was selected as Business of the Month. See the article below for that and Ergon's Neil Stanton was the guess speaker. Stanton is V.P. - Refining at the WV facility across the river. As you can see below he discussed the controversial American Clean Energy & Security Act commonly known as the "cap & trade bill".

Next Luncheon will be October 29 at Kat's Kitchen located at 1025 Main St. Who said there's nothing to do in Wellsville?

Has anyone heard anything about Baard ? Sure has been quiet for quite a few months. I am still hoping that they are coming to Wellsville.
