Wow, October already!  I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Fall season!  We have so much going on in the next couple of months!  I hope you will be able to join us!  We have many new members who have joined the chamber over the last few months as well, and they are looking to meet current members at our networking events.  If you notice a new member, please help me in welcoming them and making them feel like part of our Streetsboro family.  I wanted to keep this short, since there is so much information in this newsletter.  I look forward to seeing you all soon, and if you have never been to our Annual Dinner Banquet, this is the event of the year, you do not want to miss!
