Our September meeting will be a breakfast on Friday, Sept. 20 at Heritage Golf Club from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Mike will be sharing how his company was formed, the challenges he has overcome, and the current business climate in central Ohio. Rosati Windows was founded by Mike in 2000.

Our new website went live in June and there are many new things that our members and the public can now access. Everyone can now pay online for any event that the Chamber is sponsoring. Our event signups are more user-friendly for you! One new addition for all businesses and community members is the Community Calendar. Businesses and residents can add their events on the site such as fundraisers, school events, community meetings that are open to the public, events a business is hosting, etc. There was a need to have all things Hilliard in one place and the new website provides our community to access that information. Go to www.hilliardchamber.org to see the improvements!
