Le8er from the Vice Chair
As Vice Chair of Membership, I would
like to see our members increase their
connecon opportunies every day. I
have yet to find an event or commiEee
that is not welcoming to all personality
types. The ease and comfort of our
Chamber makes it simple to get involved
in an unfamiliar area of liEle or no experience. On the personal side, one of the
best connecons I have made was about three and half years
ago. I met Anne Demanelis from Valley Riding. My daughter
has always been a huge lover of animals and mostly horses. I
can’t explain the look on her face when I first talked to her
about horse riding lessons. I will never forget that moment!
Since then, she has been taking riding lessons for three and
half years now and has no intenon of stopping. On the
business side, I can tell you the connecons I have made are
incredible. Even with switching careers, I have had many
Chamber members do business with me in different lines of
business. This is due to the trust and bond that we have with
each other by building our relaonships at every event we
aEend.
The Rocky River Chamber is excing! Do you agree? If not,
what are you missing? With so many facets at your disposal
to grow your business, it’s excing to think what could happen. One thing I have learned in my short four years with
the Chamber, is parcipaon is key. From event parcipaon to commiEee parcipaon to Board parcipaon; all of
these have greatly helped my career. I have heard from so
many other Chamber members what an impact it has had on
not only their business, but their personal lifestyle as well.
I’ve seen business connecons made, friendships formed and
even a relaonship that started at Expo led to marriage!
With about 415 members, I’m sure there is someone in the
Chamber who you have not met. Please take two minutes
this coming week, look through the directory, and call someone to make a new connecon. That’s as simple as it gets to
ulizing one of the many strengths of our chamber.
Above all else, our Chamber is extremely efficient. With the
leadership of our Board and our Execuve Director, Liz Manning, the growth and strength of our Chamber has never
been beEer. OKen I proudly and publicly announce that I am
a member of the Rocky River Chamber of Commerce and you
should feel the same! As I have learned from my own experiences stated above, the more we parcipate with each other, the more this Chamber will foster new relaonships and
new business opportunies. It’s easy to get involved! I
drank the Kool-Aid. I hope you will too!
Thank you everyone for your commitment!
Sincerely,
Kevin New

Tips on Tech
Great Lakes Computer's monthly technology p
Here are two ps to make your printer
ink last longer, and ulmately save you
money in the long run:
1. Set the print quality down to “low” or
“draK” on your print seOngs when high
quality is not of high importance
2. Use smaller, thinner fonts: It takes less ink to print a smaller
font such as the Ecofont typeface, which is free to download on
the web.

Looking for the answer to why so many small businesses
weren't taking advantage of the huge number of government programs available to them and why in so many cases
businesses were totally unaware of their existence led me to
join the Rocky River Chamber of Commerce. The decision
we made in 2012 was one of the best decisions our company
has ever made!
My name is CharloEe Sullivan and I am the Managing Partner of Strategic Partners LLC. I was born and raised in Lakewood but have always loved what Rocky River had to offer.
My partner, Dave Byrnes, is a resident of Rocky River, that’s
what prompted us to choose the River Chamber rather than
one of the other Chambers. I now live in the Edgewater
neighborhood of Cleveland with my two children, ages 14
and 11, and my husband. We spend much of our me enjoying the great shopping, restaurants and parks of Rocky River.
Who knows, with any luck maybe one day we too will become residents of the city.
Our business, like YOUR business, usually does beEer having
minimal contact with state or local government. Like you, at
first I found working with government very inmidang.
However, that isn't the case today. I have found that I enjoy
helping organizaons and businesses gain every advantage
they can from the government. Among our consulng services we specialize in assisng small businesses and nonprofit organizaons locate various government funds in
which they may eligible for to help promote their business
growth. I invite everyone to take advantage of our invitaon
for a no-charge inial consultaon to see if we can help.
Liz and the Chamber members have been great in welcoming me into their community, always ready to answer quesons and lend a hand when asked. I have gained not only
dozens of business contacts by aEending events but an enre circle of friends I know I can count on. I know being connected to the Chamber can help me grow my business and
open doors…but I also know it only works if I show up!

As a relavely new member to the Chamber, I am thrilled to
be in the Member Spotlight. My name is Donna D’Amico and
I am the Markeng Director of Bradley Bay Health Center.
Though we are located in Bay Village, our residents primarily
come from the Westshore area, with many residents from
Rocky River. Bradley Bay is one of 4 communies owned by
O’Neill Healthcare. We are currently building our fiKh locaon, which will be in Fariveiw Park – Rocky River’s backyard.
Having only been with Bradley Bay for a year, my focus has
been on expanding our community relaonships. The Chamber provides the perfect opportunity and vehicle to make
that happen.
My own background is that of a born and raised west-sider,
growing up in Seven Hills, graduated from Nazareth Academy
(now Holy Name High School) and then on to Kent State.
Happily divorced a few years ago, I am now a resident of Fairview Park and love the area. I have also been blessed with
two great and successful kids – a daughter in PiEsburgh and
my son in San Francisco.
My career has gone from employee benefits, to corporate
health care and for the past 13 years, senior living – all focused on sales and markeng. I love the senior living industry, because I really can make a difference in the lives of
those I serve.
Having worked with some talented and successful mentors
over the years, I have learned many things that have made a
difference in my professional life. I think one of the most
important is that people want to do business with people
they like – people they would call their friends - so make a lot
of friends! What beEer place to do that but in the Chamber.
I look forward to meeng and working with all of you.
