Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 1: Todd Walker here in the studio visiting with Matt Childers
Speaker 1: from the Elymea, Allen County Chamber of Commerce. You guys
Speaker 1: have an Aliron workshop coming to town.
Speaker 2: What is this, yeah, Aileron, is this incredible facility down
Speaker 2: in Tips City where the i'ms the group that the
Speaker 2: family that owned IMS developed and it's just a remarkable campus.
Speaker 2: And it's all about learning. It's all about leadership. It's
Speaker 2: all about growing teams and having teams work better together.
Speaker 2: And this workshop will be at the Lima, Allen County
Speaker 2: Chamber of Commerce. It'll be on August nineteenth, and it's
Speaker 2: from nine to ten thirty am. And it's all about
Speaker 2: why your business and why you mean more to your
Speaker 2: business than you might think. So it's all about growth.
Speaker 2: It's all about connecting with others and being able to
Speaker 2: really grow individually and then also be able to do
Speaker 2: that within the concept of the team. So Aileron, is
Speaker 2: this if you just look it up, folks, it's this
Speaker 2: incredible facility and it's a place that you know you
Speaker 2: would love to go to. It's got a lot of
Speaker 2: serenity to it, and then it's just got a lot
Speaker 2: of you know, just great atmosphere and so those folks
Speaker 2: are coming up to us. We do some partnerships with
Speaker 2: them and we'll look forward to that. On August nineteenth, also.
Speaker 1: With the Chamber, the Young Professionals are going to have
Speaker 1: a volunteer Night at the Allen County Fair. This is
Speaker 1: in connection with the Cowetzal Concert.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have the Young Professionals. It's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 2: You know, you're volunteering and you get the concert on
Speaker 2: top of that. But they'll be doing their thing. That
Speaker 2: volunteer night and the Young Professionals has really grown exponentially
Speaker 2: over the last few years. And that'll be Saturday, August
Speaker 2: twenty second. You know, it's you know, height of the
Speaker 2: fair season. Go out, have some fun, volunteer and enjoy
Speaker 2: an evening with the concert.
Speaker 1: The Young Professionals group in the chamber. How do we
Speaker 1: define that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's now I believe it's now. Well, it's definitely
Speaker 2: forty in under, but I think it might be forty
Speaker 2: five and under in terms of being a participant. So yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, it's really relative to you know, the young
Speaker 2: folks in our community. And there's you know, I head
Speaker 2: up our online of leadership Academy, and we're getting more
Speaker 2: and more young folks coming back from schools that they
Speaker 2: just graduated from and then starting families here. It's really
Speaker 2: that's exactly what we need in Lineman Allen County is
Speaker 2: that youth movement and the young professionals are really leading
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. How about Wake, Rattle and Roll. Let's just
Speaker 1: go to the fair and do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so every year we do this at the Allen
Speaker 2: County Fairgrounds. Have great food. I know, our good friend
Speaker 2: Scott shut and the QP really help out with this.
Speaker 2: And the breakfast that takes place at Wake, Growl and Roll,
Speaker 2: it's the Chamber Breakfast. It'll take place Friday, August twenty
Speaker 2: eighth at seven am, and it's one of the most
Speaker 2: decorated and one of the most attended that we have
Speaker 2: throughout the calendar and it'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Troy Elware and his team out at the Allen County
Speaker 2: Fair treat us really well. It's a great morning. So
Speaker 2: if you want to come out, you want to do
Speaker 2: some networking, and one of the things that they do,
Speaker 2: I think they give you free entrance to the fair
Speaker 2: and then you can come back later on that day,
Speaker 2: and so there's a lot of perks to it. I
Speaker 2: think I think the breakfast is free if I'm speaking correctly,
Speaker 2: that the breakfast there that day is a free breakfast,
Speaker 2: and so admission would be free there. So all that
Speaker 2: being said, we'll look forward to that Friday, August twenty eighth,
Speaker 2: and it really is all about the fair. As you
Speaker 2: get towards the end of August.
Speaker 1: Putting on your Alan Lima leadership hat. Now you guys
Speaker 1: have the Teddy Bear Golf out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's our eleventh annual, will be at Hidden Week
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, September twenty third. It's right around you know,
Speaker 2: registrations right around eight am. Shotgun start at nine. This
Speaker 2: is a great event because, you know, we just got
Speaker 2: off of our latest two courses, Colonial and hiden Creek
Speaker 2: with our Chamber Golf outing, you know, and there were
Speaker 2: thirty three teams on each course, which is a lot,
Speaker 2: and it actually went very well, actually played pretty rapidly.
Speaker 2: But this one we'll have right around twenty five teams.
Speaker 2: It'll go really smoothly. Get out of there after we
Speaker 2: have a little lunch. But it's a great event and
Speaker 2: it's great for the hospitals because they're giving away these
Speaker 2: teddy Bears to young folks who come in need that
Speaker 2: comfort when they're in the hospital. They're scared, they're uncomfortable,
Speaker 2: and they give them this opportunity to have a teddy bear.
Speaker 2: And we're really proud to be able to administer the
Speaker 2: Teddy Bear Fund at Alan line of leadership.
Speaker 1: It's one of the great traditions in our city, no
Speaker 1: question about it. Matt Chill with the Chamber, Thanks for
Speaker 1: coming in.
Speaker 2: Thanks Todd
