The Quest to BE…
 
How does a man with an Amish eighth grade education end up working for Chrysler as a manufacturing engineer and become the owner of SUPERB Industries, Inc.—a manufacturing company in Sugarcreek, Ohio ranked by Inc. Magazine among the Top 100 Fastest Growing U.S. Manufacturers for three consecutive years? John Miller’s remarkable journey from driving an Amish buggy to manufacturing millions of engineered components for multinational corporations follows a series of crucial choices.

FELLOWSHIP OUTING TO A CANTON CHARGE GAME SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 14TH
Dear Rotarians,
 
The Fellowship Committee has planned a 2nd annual "Night at the Canton Charge" event.  On Tuesday, March 14, 2017, the Canton Charge will play host to the Erie Bayhawks at 7:00 pm.  The Rotary Club of Canton has arranged a special ticket price for this game for members, family and friends. If you have not been to a game, it is a great value for some good professional basketball and an opportunity to support our local Cavs' D-League team.
 
Last year we had a very good turnout of 32 fans.  We are looking to expand on that and show our support.  Tickets are only $16.50 and we are not limited to how many we can buy.  What a great night out with family or friends and an opportunity to entertain a business client or potential Rotary member!
 
We will also look into the possibility of once again holding a Fellowship Happy Hour at the Desert Inn prior to the game.
 
Ticket forms are available during Friday meetings or by contacting the Rotary office.  Any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
