Our attendance to events is up just over 9% and we continue to add new members. In May, we had our annual Business Expo with record attendance and we were at capacity selling all the space possible for exhibitors. Jefferson Country club did a fantastic job of hosting this event. The board has worked hard to make sure we have some wonderful summer events and we are finishing up details for the fall. Our annual golf outing is coming up quickly at Jefferson Country Club. We have businesses stepping up to sponsor holes, donate items for the auction and make sure foursomes are registered. You do not want to miss this event! If you don’t golf, come to the evening portion for dinner, fun, & networking. We have been working on technology issues at the chamber from social media, data base and implementation of Chamber Master. We are already seeing results with the changes the marketing and technology committee have executed. We want to make it easier for you. We will make sure you are updated as progress is made. Empowering Women has a great event coming up. Mount Carmel Health System who is so generous to the Chamber, hosts and assist in making this event happen. Ann Schiele, who steps down this summer after 24 years as president of Mount Carmel College of Nursing will be our speaker. Register early by going to the Chamber website at GahannaAreaChamber.com/events. I hope your business is having a great year. As I interact with so many of you and as a CPA, I hear and see great things happening. Fortunately, Ohio is a state that is doing really well with new business, decreasing unemployment and market place opportunities. It is my hope that you believe your local Chamber is helping you in your success and assisting you with challenges. Please make sure you let me know what I can do to assist you from one business owner to another. It is a true honor to serve as your Board Chairwomen. I look forward to seeing you soon!

The Chamber is thrilled to announce one of our members was chosen for the 2014 class with Jason Codrea. Jason joined the Chamber 4 years ago when he became an independent financial advisor through LPL Financial and opened up Codrea Financial Services. Jason is active within the Gahanna Chamber as well as many other local and worldwide volunteer works. Many of Jason’s works has come from the groups of clients he has focused his financial planning practice to help which are dentists and teachers. The Dental Network Group is a group that Jason helped co-found to better serve the dental community with various business professionals. Teaching people about money has come easy for Jason since his parents, wife, and many other family members are teachers. On behalf of GACC, congratulations! Axxis Title Agency, Ltd.

Remember. Fight Back. R elay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. The Objective of Relay For Life is to raise money for Research, Education, Advocacy, and Patient Services. Relay For Life is an overnight event with teams formed from families, co-workers, schools, churches and more. The overnight walk is meant to reflect a cancer patient’s journey through the disease, ending with a new sense of hope as the sun rises in the morning. It starts with the survivor lap and reception to celebrate life. At dusk is the Luminaria Ceremony. Hundreds of luminaria are placed around the track inscribed with names of loved ones lost to cancer or still fighting the battle. At least one member from each team walks around the track all relay long. Walking around the track is meant to symbolize that there is no finish line until we find a cure for cancer. Activities keep spirits high all night long. Activities conclude with a Fight Back ceremony. Please come join the fun, food, entertainment and an overnight under the stars. This is one night you will never forget. To purchase a luminaria, make a donation, or for more information: contact Becky Whittington at the Gahanna Chamber, or www.RelayForLife.org/Gahanna 3 Monday, June 23, 2014 Jefferson Country Club 25 Classic 25 Anniversary Anniversary Golf GolfSponsored Classic by: Fundraiser 25 Anniversary Golf Classic Fundraiser 25Monday, Anniversary Golf Classic 25 Anniversary Classic June 23, Fundraiser Monday, JuneGolf 23, 2014 2014 Fundraiser Fundraiser Jefferson Country Monday, June 23, Club 2014 Club Jefferson Country , Range Access 11:00am – Registration Monday, June 23, 2014 Monday, June Club 23, 2014 Jefferson Country 12:30pm – Shotgun Start For all event details, including 4:30pm – Pre-Dinner Mixer Sponsored by: For all event details, including ClubClub Jefferson Country Sponsored by: Jefferson Country available Sponsorship Opportunities, th th For all event details, including th available Sponsorship Opportunities, th th go to Golf.GahannaAreaChamber.com 5:30pm – Dinner & Awards available Sponsorship For all event details,Opportunities, including Sponsored by: go to go to Opportunities, Golf Package: $120 members For all event details, including available Sponsorship Sponsored by: Golf.GahannaAreaChamber.com For all event details, including $130 non-members Golf.GahannaAreaChamber.com available Sponsorship Opportunities, go to Sponsorship For all event details, including available 18 holes of golf w/cart, box lunch, Sponsorship go to Opportunities, Golf.GahannaAreaChamber.com Opportunities, available go to Golf.GahannaAreaChamber.com 11:00am – Registration Access two beverage, Range tickets, accuracy 11:00am – Registration Access Golf.GahannaAreaChamber.com gochance to, Range contests, to win $10,000!, 12:30pm – Shotgun Start 11:00am 11:00am – Registration, Range Access 12:30pm – Shotgun Start – Registration Access special hole Mixer in, Range one prizes, goody bag, Golf.GahannaAreaChamber.com 4:30pm – Pre-Dinner 12:30pm – Shotgun Start 4:30pm – Registration Pre-Dinner Mixer awards dinner, pro-shop discount, 11:00am , Range Access 12:30pm Shotgun Start 5:30pm – Dinner & Awards 4:30pm – Pre-Dinner Mixer team photo. 5:30pm & Start Awards 12:30pm Shotgun 4:30pm – Dinner Pre-Dinner Mixer 5:30pm – Dinner & Awards , Range Access 11:00am ––Registration 4:30pm Pre-Dinner Mixer 5:30pm Dinner & $120 Awards Golf Package: members Golf Package: $120 members 12:30pm Shotgun Start Super Deal Package: Golf Package: members 5:30pm––$120 Dinner & Awards $130 non-members $30.
