The meeting was called to order by Club President, Chris Stoll. Guests were recognized and included our speaker, Chuck Hurst with Akron SCORE. 50/50 was done- the pot is up to $180. Bid won the day but not the pot. Reports were given-we reviewed the Corn Roast on Saturday, Sept 1. Also, the sign up list was passed around for TOT during MumFest weekend. There are still some volunteer opportunities for this event. Jim gave an update on the Reverse Raffle: Bid got kudos for offering up the first basket for the Silent Auction. Judge McKenney got kudos for taking the most tickets (10) in the first distribution round. As a reminder, each club member is asked to be responsible for the sale of 4 tickets and bringing 2 baskets for the Silent Auction.
Our speaker Chuck Hurst is a member of Akron SCORE. He indicated the Akron chapter was established in 1965 and consistently ranks in the top ten in the nation. They are currently #3 in the country. SCORE can provide a variety of services from getting a business established to helping a business in trouble. The Akron chapter is located in the former Polsky building in downtown Akron.
