Chillicothe Ross Chamber of Commerce
Weather cooperates -- barely;
Two tie for golf outing honors
The storm Wednesday evening that brought torrential rains and flash flooding to the area gave way to much cooler temperatures, gloomy skies and a mist that tried to put a damper on the chamber's Annual Golf Outing Thursday. But the 18 teams at Crown Hill Golf Club near Williamsport made the most of the day that ended in a steak lunch, courtesy of Chillicothe Nursing and Rehabilitation and AVI Food Systems. The winning score of 11 under par was carded by both the Chillicothe Tents for Events and Chillicothe Jaycees teams with the Tents team winning by a scorecard playoff. The outing was held a week later than scheduled due to bad weather the previous week. Photos from the outing will be available shortly on the chamber website.
SEMINAR SET FOR TRAINING STANDARD: A special "Awareness Session on ISO 10015 -- Quality of Training standard" will be held in Chillicothe Thursday, Nov. 16. The seminar sponsored by the Economic Development Alliance of Southern Ohio will feature Ronald Jacobs, Ph.D., director of the Center on Education and Training for Employment at Ohio State University. The session is targeted especially for small and medium size manufacturing firms. There is no cost for the seminar, but reservations must be made in advance as space is limited at the Riverview Conference Center. To reserve a spot, contact Alliance CEO Christopher Manegold at 772-5100 or email him at cmanegold@chillicotheohio.com.
GOVERNMENT HOLIDAY MONDAY: As a reminder, most government offices will be closed Monday in observance of Columbus Day. And there will be no mail service.
TIME TO RESERVE YOUR EXPO SPACE: In only six weeks, the chamber's Annual Business Expo/BAB will open its doors at the Elks Hall. Sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, the Expo is a great way to spotlight your product or services to other chamber members and members of the public.

TWO MEMBERS CELEBRATE OPENINGS
Urgent Care Transport dedicated its Chillicothe headquarters at the rear of 1600 N. Bridge St., the former Accurate Heating and Cooling site with a ribbon cutting and lunch. The firm is expanding from its Portsmouth operations.
K&C Educational Associates held a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony Friday for its new David H. Ater MD Dyslexia and ADHD Clinic on Hopetown Road, off North Bridge Street. Dr. Jean Kerney cited the late Dr. Ater as one of the first doctors in southern Ohio to recognize and deal with the learning disabilities of children.
IT'S EASY TO BE PART OF THE PARADE: Entries are now being taken for floats, bands and other participants in the annual Halloween Parade on Saturday, October 28.
