"Working hard to make your business a success" is the tag line for the Nordonia Hills Chamber. That's what we do.

Everything the Chamber does is meant to save you money, make you more efficient and/or increase your contact list, which builds your business and makes it a success.

If you have a business in or around Nordonia Hills, you don't want to miss Chamber 101 -- an orientation into the workings of this Chamber. Current members are certainly invited.

Each year we add more events and more benefits. Your attendance at this event enables you to keep up to date with what's happening. Have breakfast with us. Bring your promotional materials for the Table-Top Expo. Everyone goes home with a gift.

Chamber 101 is scheduled for July 22 from 8 to 10 a.m. at Reinecker's Bakery and Party Center, 8575 Freeway Drive in Macedonia.

Registration begins at 7:45 a.m. All are invited to this informational event, hosted by Reinecker's each year and sponsored by UH-Bedford Medical Center this year. There is no charge for this event. Reservations are now being accepted at the Chamber office, 330-467-8956.

It's time for the 15th annual Nordonia Hills Chamber Links Golf Open, Aug. 16 at the beautiful Silver Lake Country Club. Registration begins at 7 a.m. with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Sign up to play 18 holes or come out for dinner and our infamous Pick-a-Prize Auction.

This is your opportunity to play on a state-of-the-art golf course. Promote your business by donating an auction gift or sponsoring a hole and let us give you free advertising. It's all about our members and getting your name out. Panera Bread is sponsoring a continental breakfast. The quicker you become involved, the longer we can promote you. Contact Mike Dolan (Choice Design -- 330-405-6770) or Lynn Horsfall (Howard Hanna -- 330-467-3330) or go to www.nordoniahillschamber.org events page for the golf outing.
