Greetings! Aug. 5, 2010
While profit is often a common denominator for our businesses, the Chamber is proud of its many non-profit members and civic-minded businesses who support charitable causes and local needs. This week's "e-serts" reflect that commitment ... as Holiday Inn - Columbus/Worthington plans a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities on the heels of its collection activity for detergent to aid wildlife hurt by the Gulf oil spill ... as the United Methodist Children's Home prepares for its Breakfast of Champions ... as Dublin Metro Dental reaches out to provide some free back-to-school dental check-ups to ensure the health of area students. Purchasing an "e-sert" to promote your company's goodwill efforts is affordable and easy; call us at 888-3040.
We hope to see you at several business-building activities in the coming days and weeks, as well as in online communities. Details are below. As always, we wish you great connections!
