41 in Mecklenburg County will be our speaker. This is a great opportunity to learn what is happening at the state level and how it affects our local community. We are very excited to have the Senator speak and hope you will join us! Please be sure to register yourself and any guest that that will attend.

September is right around the corner which is the month of our annual golf event. The tournament will be held on Thursday, September 13th at the Palisades Country Club. Spaces are filling up so make sure that you register your team or reserve a few of our remaining sponsorship spots. The ABA Golf Tournament is always a one of a kind event that promises to deliver great golf, food, drinks and fellowship. All the money raised during this event goes back to education by way of grants to our schools. Through this tournament

we have been able to give thousands of dollars back to Olympic High School and the feeder schools in our footprint. Please come out and support our students and have a great time in the process!

Thank you for your continued support of the ABA and we look forward to seeing you on August 16th.

Kyle NeelyFounders Federal Credit UnionABA President

The ABA is having a great summer and we hope you are too! We continue to have a successful year filled with many extraordinary events. We’ve had some

exceptional luncheons filled with great speakers thus far this year. A big thank you goes out to Steve Gatter of Underdog Business Strategies who was our guest speaker for June. Steve presented on using LinkedIn to effectively meet your ideal prospects. Steve’s delivery and contact was very impactful. There were some key learnings for all that were in attendance. Our next luncheon is August 16th and it will be a can’t miss event. It will be held at our meeting place at Embassy Suites, Ayrsley. Senator Jeff Tarte from District

It is that time of year to get together for our annual Educational Outreach Golf Tournament. This is being held on Thursday September 13th at Palisades Country Club. Please see our website to complete a registration form, or contact us for any additional information.www.arrowoodbusinessassociation.org

Will you please join our mission? Our main source of funding, beyond member dues, is the ABA Annual Golf Tournament.

What’s New?

We are still working on growing the association. We’ve reached out to our local non-member businesses and provided information about the Arrowood Business Association. Our intern and Ambassadors are following up with the businesses to see who may be interested in learning more or possibly joining the ABA.

What’s the Same?

Member engagement is an ongoing initiative. We provide ongoing opportunities for members to engage such as our luncheons, afterhours and our Annual Golf Event which is coming up in September. This takes consistent effort on the part of the Board of Directors and Ambassadors to deliver ongoing value to our members. We continue to invite speakers that we feel will benefit the members.

All of the proceeds support our educational outreach efforts. 2017 we raised over $15,000!! Opportunities include golfers (of course), various sponsorships, raffle prizes – large and small, items.

With your support, our organization will continue to meet this tremendous need. And of course, new members (and their dues!) are always welcome.

What’s Next?

August Membership Luncheon – August 16, 2018Annual Golf Event – September 13, 2018

We are prepared to have one of the best Annual Golf Events ever this year. Please join us for a day of golf and fun. We welcome volunteers from our membership. The Board Members, Ambassadors and Volunteers will work tirelessly to ensure that the day is a success. Remember, a large portion of the money raised at the Annual Golf Event goes to support Education at Olympic High School and the feeder schools.
