3
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.360

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>have an Aliron workshop coming to town.

5
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>What is this, yeah, Aileron, is this incredible facility down

6
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 2>in Tips City where the i'ms the group that the

7
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.800
<v Speaker 2>family that owned IMS developed and it's just a remarkable campus.

8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 2>And it's all about learning. It's all about leadership. It's

9
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>all about growing teams and having teams work better together.

10
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>And this workshop will be at the Lima, Allen County

11
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Chamber of Commerce. It'll be on August nineteenth, and it's

12
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>from nine to ten thirty am. And it's all about

13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>why your business and why you mean more to your

14
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>business than you might think. So it's all about growth.

15
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 2>It's all about connecting with others and being able to

16
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 2>really grow individually and then also be able to do

17
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 2>that within the concept of the team. So Aileron, is

18
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 2>this if you just look it up, folks, it's this

19
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>incredible facility and it's a place that you know you

20
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>would love to go to. It's got a lot of

21
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 2>serenity to it, and then it's just got a lot

22
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>of you know, just great atmosphere and so those folks

23
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>are coming up to us. We do some partnerships with

24
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>them and we'll look forward to that. On August nineteenth, also.

25
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>With the Chamber, the Young Professionals are going to have

26
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a volunteer Night at the Allen County Fair. This is

27
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>in connection with the Cowetzal Concert.

28
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have the Young Professionals. It's a pretty good deal.

29
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're volunteering and you get the concert on

30
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>top of that. But they'll be doing their thing. That

31
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>volunteer night and the Young Professionals has really grown exponentially

32
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>over the last few years. And that'll be Saturday, August

33
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty second. You know, it's you know, height of the

34
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>fair season. Go out, have some fun, volunteer and enjoy

35
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>an evening with the concert.

36
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 1>The Young Professionals group in the chamber. How do we

37
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>define that?

38
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's now I believe it's now. Well, it's definitely

39
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>forty in under, but I think it might be forty

40
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>five and under in terms of being a participant. So yeah,

41
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's really relative to you know, the young

42
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>folks in our community. And there's you know, I head

43
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 2>up our online of leadership Academy, and we're getting more

44
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>and more young folks coming back from schools that they

45
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 2>just graduated from and then starting families here. It's really

46
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly what we need in Lineman Allen County is

47
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>that youth movement and the young professionals are really leading

48
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 2>that way.

49
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. How about Wake, Rattle and Roll. Let's just

50
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>go to the fair and do it.

51
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so every year we do this at the Allen

52
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>County Fairgrounds. Have great food. I know, our good friend

53
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Scott shut and the QP really help out with this.

54
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>And the breakfast that takes place at Wake, Growl and Roll,

55
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 2>it's the Chamber Breakfast. It'll take place Friday, August twenty

56
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>eighth at seven am, and it's one of the most

57
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>decorated and one of the most attended that we have

58
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>throughout the calendar and it'll be a lot of fun.

59
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Troy Elware and his team out at the Allen County

60
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Fair treat us really well. It's a great morning. So

61
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>if you want to come out, you want to do

62
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 2>some networking, and one of the things that they do,

63
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I think they give you free entrance to the fair

64
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 2>and then you can come back later on that day,

65
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and so there's a lot of perks to it. I

66
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>think I think the breakfast is free if I'm speaking correctly,

67
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 2>that the breakfast there that day is a free breakfast,

68
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>and so admission would be free there. So all that

69
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 2>being said, we'll look forward to that Friday, August twenty eighth,

70
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 2>and it really is all about the fair. As you

71
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 2>get towards the end of August.

72
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Putting on your Alan Lima leadership hat. Now you guys

73
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>have the Teddy Bear Golf out here.

74
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's our eleventh annual, will be at Hidden Week

75
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, September twenty third. It's right around you know,

76
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 2>registrations right around eight am. Shotgun start at nine. This

77
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>is a great event because, you know, we just got

78
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>off of our latest two courses, Colonial and hiden Creek

79
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 2>with our Chamber Golf outing, you know, and there were

80
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty three teams on each course, which is a lot,

81
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 2>and it actually went very well, actually played pretty rapidly.

82
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>But this one we'll have right around twenty five teams.

83
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>It'll go really smoothly. Get out of there after we

84
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>have a little lunch. But it's a great event and

85
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>it's great for the hospitals because they're giving away these

86
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>teddy Bears to young folks who come in need that

87
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 2>comfort when they're in the hospital. They're scared, they're uncomfortable,

88
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and they give them this opportunity to have a teddy bear.

89
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 2>And we're really proud to be able to administer the

90
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Teddy Bear Fund at Alan line of leadership.

91
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the great traditions in our city, no

92
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 1>question about it. Matt Chill with the Chamber, Thanks for

93
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 1>coming in.

94
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Todd
