IT’S OFFICIAL: RICART’S DEALIN’ TO NOURSE: Ricart formally announced Thursday it had sold its Ford dealership in Shawnee Square to the Nourse Automotive Group. In a story on the “Columbus Business First” website, Dick Nourse said he regretted selling the dealership in 2001 to Ricart almost immediately. “Chillicothe is our home and we have a considerable investment there,” he said. Fred Ricart added, “The people of Chillicothe are wonderful, but this sale makes sense from a business perspective.” A FEW SPOTS LEFT FOR FREE GOLF OUTING: The Chillicothe Jaycees have spots for a few more teams for its free nine-hole golf outing before the July 20 Business After Business. The outing is limited to the first 26 teams and has a shotgun start at 3 p.m. This allows the players to enjoy the BAB which will be held in the shelterhouse and features music by Sidetrack. To get your team in the golf outing, call the Jaycees pro shop at 775-7659. Make sure also to register for the BAB itself: BAB registration
AND IN KEEPING WITH THIS SPORTS THEME: The annual raffle by the Ross County chapter of the OSU Alumni is under way. No more than 250 tickets at $25 each are being sold with the winner receiving a season ticket to the football Buckeyes. More information is available: www.alumni-osu.org/ross. SUPPORT AND EXPOSURE IN ONE PACKAGE: Connie Smart of Panther Publishing plans to begin making calls on members next week to advertise in the 2006 chamber directory which will be available in January. Your ad is seen by other chamber members and goes out in our packages to people looking to relocate to Chillicothe and prospective businesses considering Chillicothe as well as many others. And since a percentage of the ad sales come back to the chamber, it allows the chamber to carry out its mission. When you get that call, you’ll know the value of advertising. And if you can’t wait for Connie to call you to reserve your space, give her a call at 772-2165. MORE DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS: Two more members announced recently they are offering special discounts exclusively to other chamber members. Accurate Heating and Cooling will give members 10 percent off the cost of a residential service call during normal business hours. Scioto Micro is offering 10 percent off all its services which includes virus/spyware elimination, tune-ups, etc., on your or your company’s computers. Check out all the discounts now available: Discounts for members COMPANY’S COMING: In the next few weeks, the city will play host to several groups who have chosen this area for their conventions or gatherings. Make sure that you give them a good Ross County welcome, if you run across them while you’re out and about. We hope to make this a regular feature of Weekly Update so that everyone will know when we have special guests. From the Ross-Chillicothe Convention and Visitors Bureau, here’s who will be in town the next couple weeks:
