As we begin to say goodbye to another year, we also say goodbye to friends, or at least to the roles they played in our Chamber world. Christa Kozy, my counterpart at the Lake Township Chamber, is leaving her po- sition December 15 to join the marketing team at Hartville Kitchen & Collectibles. Since my arrival in 2009, Christa has been an unwavering supporter of the North Canton Chamber and our mutual goals of pro- moting business retention and expansion in our respective communi- ties. We've collaborated on a number of projects and I look forward to continuing that cooperation with her successor.
As a result of the November elections, Dan Griffith is leaving his position on North Canton City Council.
