Poole outing set Sept. 13 (6/23/03)

Business Roundup

The Eighth Annual Randy O. Poole Memorial Golf Outing will be held on Sept. 13 at the Portland Country Club.

The outing will feature four-person teams competing under a scramble format.

Local businesses that do not wish to sponsor a team can still help out by donating items for door prizes.

Prizes range from anything small or large, or even gift certificates, that can be handed out following the golf tournament.

There are three levels of commercial sponsorships: Gold sponsor, $250; silver sponsor, $175; bronze sponsor, $125.

For more information about sponsoring a team, or for purchase of the sponsorship packages, contact the Chamber office at (260) 726-4481, or via E-mail at [email protected]

HEALTH STRATEGIES

OFFERS REHAB

The Hartford City YMCA will be hosting a new location opened by HealthStrategies in the fall for a rehabilitation facility.

It was announced recently that the regional rehabilitation company has entered into an agreement to share space with the Blackford County YMCA. Renovations to the 12,000 square-foot facility, located on Ind. 3 north of downtown Hartford City, will begin in the summer.

The facility will provide outpatient rehabilitation services, in addition to YMCA programs and activities.

HealthStrategies will provide physical and occupational therapies, intially, with speech-pathology therapy to be added once the renovations are complete.

MARSH RELEASES RESULTS

Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. has reported total sales from the fourth quarter and fiscal 2003 at $1,655,735,000, which is an increase of $13,136,000 over results from the same period last year.

Sales from comparable stores, which includes remodels, expansions and relocations, declined 3.1 percent from last year.

That decline has been credited to a difficult economic environment, which caused customers to trade down, high unemployment, food price deflation, the war in Iraq, increased competitive promotions and decreased square footage.
