Reimer addresses Inola Chamber of Commerce

By Charlene Harrell, Inola Correspondent

September 9, 2009 — Ginger Reimer, director of Rogers County Young Entrepreneurs, was guest speaker at the Inola Area Chamber of Commerce’s September meeting.

She gave a Power Point presentation and spoke on the Reality Check program that they host for Rogers County youth.

Reimer thanked the Inola School System and local businesses for their support. Kathy Phillips and Jan Spurlock were two of the Inola teachers that she said were instrumental in getting the Reality Check event started.

The program, which is expected to be held in May, will be the third annual. Mayes County schools will be joining them for the two-day event.

Chamber committees were assigned for Banquet Planning, Christmas Parade and Santa Cash, and Nominating/Membership.

Under new business it was reported that a Subway would be opening in Inola on 1400 Road just past Dollar General. Dave Deffenbaugh gave an update on their plans for a doctor to locate in Inola. He said Drew Turner, pharmacist and owner of Inola Drug Store, has talked to some doctors and Deffenbaugh talked to Urgent Care in Stigler about their service. Although there was some interest, no definite commitments have been received.

Stephani Freeman, chairman of the Map Committee, reported that she would like to transfer the responsibility to someone else for completion of the assignment and asked for volunteers.

Janet Kight, president of the Library Board, gave a presentation on how the library is doing and what they had to offer. She told members if they have not toured the library lately to come see for themselves.

A circus will be coming to Inola on Sept. 20. It is being sponsored by the Soccer Club and will be located at the soccer field on East Commercial.
