You’re invited to spend the day on the course at the Dublin Chamber Golf Classic on July 20 at The Club at Tartan Fields. This incredible event brings together the Dublin business community to raise funds for scholarships for Dublin City Schools students and for non-profit organizations. In addition, you will have the opportunity to compete in fun games on the course, win door prizes from our Spin to Win game, and bid on amazing silent auction items.

Do you have a student entering 6th or 7th grade? Then you’ll want to enroll them in the Dublin Chamber’s iCare…iServe…iLead Youth Leadership Program running July 27 to July 31. This week-long program fosters a spirit of civic commitment, promotes good decision-making, and encourages your child to understand their leadership potential! To register for this amazing program, use DublinChamber.org/iCare26.

Lastly, I hope you can take part in Dublin’s Corporate Charity Cup on June 11 at Marriott Columbus Northwest, and on June 12 at Dublin Jerome High School. There are several volunteer opportunities at this event, so we encourage you to register to help at DublinChamber.org/CCCVols.
