HARD WORK - STUDENTS IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY TOO.

Aside from all the political articles and letters to the editor appearing in our local publications, have you noticed the one huge positive topic these days is student related? There seems to be an ongoing theme ranging from Medina being named
one of America's Best Communities for Young People, to the 10th year celebration
of Leadership Medina County's Junior Program, and now the continuation of the Greater Medina Chamber of Commerce's YEA! Program. A true reinforcement
centered on the importance of our youth and the realization which, we all know, confirms the commitment of our business community and effective, top quality education.


For the second year the Greater Medina Chamber of Commerce is offering the Young Entrepreneurs Academy to local students interested in starting and running a real business. . . .

  Halloween Safety Tips! 

 

 

We hope that you have a safe, happy and fun Halloween! We encourage you to review the tips provided by Jim Bigham concerning safety.   

 

Walking with your little goblins, teaching them to watch for traffic, be polite to their treat givers, be respectful of crossing lawns, and make sure they have reflective  items on their costumes as well as keeping them warm with no hard to see through masks that would block their view, and not letting them go on when they are tired.   This is when confusion can set in for them and when accidents occur.
