Congratulations to all for another very successful Chamber golf

outing this year! Thank you to everyone involved and especially our

Marty Gudmundson, Polynt Composites; Scott Komaromy, Wells

Fargo Advisors; John O'Sullivan, OTTO Engineering; Ernie Gamino,

Edward Jones Investments and Scott Schier, Grid 7 Properties.

Additional thanks to Randall Oaks and their staff for providing the

perfect golf venue and setting! Our appreciation also goes out to the

Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township for once again volunteering

their time and talents by spending the day with us. With their help, our golf outing

went smoothly along for everyone to have a great day.

A successful event happens because of the tremendous support of our sponsors

and members who gave up a business day and traded it in for fun!

Where would we be without volunteers? Thank you so much to: Beth Leair,

Polynt Composites; Jamie Martens, Polynt Composites; Kathy Fisher, Polynt

Composites; Connie Krueger, Avon; Nina Pearson, A&T Plumbing; Justyna

Sutyniec, BMO Harris; Lori Schutt, CP Apparel; and Erika Clemons.

While this yea’s golf outing is already way past the 19th hole, we'll begin

planning next year’s before you know it!

Chair’s Message

MISSION STATEMENTThe Northern Kane County Chamberis an advocate for business interestsand development by identifying andfulfilling the needs of the business

community through leadership,education, support and promotion.

Lori Schutt

The first half of 2016 has

come and gone, but the best

is yet to come! It was a

busy first 6 months with the

bowling event, the Golf

Outing and all the

networking events in

between. There have been

quite a few Ribbon Cuttings

for new businesses that have

joined our community.

So what's next? Get ready to travel! In

September, we will be celebrating National

Chamber Week ALL MONTH LONG! We will be

“Traveling the NKCC” to prepare for our Annual

Dinner. Our “Meet Up” events will include travel

to Italy, Ireland and Mexico! It will be a busy

month and we hope to travel with you!

By now, you should have received your “Save

The Date” cards for the NKCC Annual Dinner on

October 1st. The committee has already been

working really hard planning this event to make

it a great success. You will be traveling Around

the World with your “Passport to Success!” The

evening will consist of dinner, drinks, silent

auction, 50/50 raffle and of course, our awards

ceremony to celebrate businesses and individuals

within our chamber. You will soon be hearing

from the committee looking for sponsors and

silent auction donations. This is a great

opportunity to get some advertising for your

business. Please mark your calendars now for

this Not To Miss event.

What’s after that?

You will have to wait and see!

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
