NEW MEMBER CHAD MINOR INTRODUCED TO CLUB
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chad Minor (BA Communications & Business, University of Akron ’04; MA Theology, Malone University ’15) has lived most of his life in Canton, OH. As an athlete (like most of his family), Chad played basketball in high school, before moving on to play at the University of Akron (varsity ’96-98). He remained in Canton to raise a family, eventually completing a graduate program at Malone University. His long-term connection with the Canton-Akron area led him to consider how he and his wife Jamie might live more intentionally as a part of the community of Canton. As a result, he and Jamie started Rising Hope Ministries, a 501(c)(3) organization with the purpose of restoring hope to Canton by serving as a catalyst for positive change. Chad seeks to ignite this hope in others by encouraging unity, dreaming big, living intentionally, investing in others, and reminding people of their intrinsic value as human beings.

NEW GOLF COURSE - SAME GREAT DAY OF CAMARADERIE AND FRIENDSHIP
On Friday, August 19, 2016, the Rotary Club of Canton will host its annual golf outing at The Sanctuary Golf Club located at 2017 Applegrove Street N.W., North Canton.  Each year the outing brings more than 75 golfers together from many local Rotary Clubs to participate in a friendly competition, leaving only one Rotary Club with bragging rights for the next year.  This is a great day to bring guests or prospective members to see what Rotary is all about and meet some of the great people that are involved with Rotary.
 
As in the past, the golf outing will take the place of our regularly-scheduled Friday meeting.  This means all Canton Rotarians are welcome to come for lunch, even if they are not planning to golf. The cost for your lunch would be $13.00. We will be enjoying Old Carolina Barbecue at noon. 
 
After lunch, those golfing will join their foursomes and participate in a scramble-format golf tournament.  Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers in the scramble and for the longest drive, closest to the hole, and longest putt.  
 
There will also be a putting contest, with the winner taking a BMW home for the weekend, courtesy of Cain BMW.
 
Please follow this LINK for a printable copy of the golf outing sign-up flyer.
