Chamber-of-Commerce May Luncheon 2009

The monthly luncheon was held at Dalonzo's on Tuesday, May 19. It is usually held on the last Thursday of the month but this month's luncheon was changed to honor the Top 10 students of WHS Class of 2009. They will be back to the regular days starting June 25.

President Randy Allmon reminded all of the Business After Hours at Air Waves, Thursday, May 20. It is hosted by Air Waves owners Beverly & Lonnie Hentzell and starts at 6 P.M.

Allmon said he will be attending the OMEGA Informational Meeting in Lisbon later Tuesday afternoon. Reminder was given about the Rabies Clinic on Saturday. Also announced was Congressman Charlie Wilson's Small Business Seminar to be held at the EL Motor Lodge on Friday, May 29, from 10 - 11:30 A.M. The seminar is tilted "How to Get Through the Recession" with such topics as how to qualify and obtain loans, selling products, developing business plans and new tools from the SBA to get capital. It's a free seminar and reservations can be made through the Congressman's Wellsville office in Village Hall or by calling 330-532-3740. Deadline for registration is Tuesday, May 26.

The Chamber will be having an auction at the Gazebo on the 4th St. Square on Friday, June 12, 6 - 8 P.M. With Council's permission the street will be blocked off for traffic. They are looking for gift certificates or donations from area businesses or from anybody that wants to donate something suitable to be auctioned off. Proceeds from the auction will go to cover expenses for the repair of the gazebo and other community services. Seven "auction bucks" tickets are available for $5 and can be bought at Air Waves, Huntington Bank or Central Federal. Both Allmon and Auction Chairwoman Connie Bauer said they will provide pick-up service for donations for this worthy cause if needed. Just give them a call.

Business of the Month is Beech Law Office. More on that later.

The guess speaker was Wellsville School Superintendent Rich Bereschik. Pictured above is senior John Russell thanking the Chamber for having them to lunch and asking Mr. Davis if he was really going to treat them to a DQ. He did. It's a Greg Davis tradition...
