The Whitehouse Area Chamber of Commerce will host their golf outing Friday, August 19th at Toledo Country Club. But this tournament will look quite different than any other.

The Whitehouse Chamber Challenge Cup will provide everyone the experience of playing in what looks and feels like a Ryder Cup.

Foursomes accustomed to playing in a scramble will remain as teammates but will be combined with other golfers to comprise a team of 10-14 depending on final count. Teams will be identified by wearing uniform colored team shirts and can form from businesses, public services, and non-profit organizations like churches and schools.  Several scoreboards featuring every golfer’s name, results of all matches, and team standings will be kept live on the course. A tournament program picturing all the golfers along with a personal bio is sure to add a professional touch as well. The names of the winning team members will be engraved annually just like on the Stanley Cup.

The Whitehouse Chamber Challenge Cup will definitely be a memorable, unique golf experience for all involved. Anyone interested in registering to golf or willing to sponsor should contact Josh Torres at the Whitehouse Area Chamber of Commerce by calling 419-877-2747 or visiting our website at www.whitehouseohiochamber.com.

1. Be Prepared. Savvy Networkers always have their networking tools with them at all times. The Networking tool kit includes: an ample supply of business cards, your name badge, any collateral material (flyers, brochures, etc), and your marketing message (often referred to as your elevator speech).

2. Arrive early. Savvy Networkers arrive early and have their business cards readily available and can relax and focus on learning about the other people in the room. As an early, Savvy Networker, you can pause to calmly gather your thoughts and your intentions so that your time spent networking will be of benefit to you and your goals. Preparation goes a long way in making you appear to be someone that other people will want to get to know. People do business with people they like. And you will be judged by others, like it or not, based on their first impression of you.
