Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing supported by industry sponsors, fabricators and manufacturer associations. The purpose of this event is to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. Although Manufacturing Day officially occurs on the first Friday in October——any day can be a Manufacturing Day. The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce became inspired to work with our McHenry County local manufactures and trades in 2016, McHenry County Workforce Network and the City of McHenry and Crystal Lake and McHenry School Districts 155 and 156 to determine the best way to expose future generations to the opportunities of going directly from high school into manufacturing or trades. McHenry Area Chamber’s Manufacturing Committee is kicking off the celebration with an EXPO produced by Carl Vallianatos of McHenry School District 156 and Doug Martin of the City of McHenry on September 27th. The EXPO will be held at McHenry High School’s East Campus to showcase to students and parents residing in McHenry County career opportunities in the trades and manufacturing. Not only will students be able to positively view 40 different McHenry County businesses as potential employers but those with parents have an extra incentive to gain multiple raffle tickets. Hours for the EXPO are 6 to 8 pm at the East Campus Gym, 1012 N. Green Street. All high school students throughout McHenry County are encouraged to attend.

MKE PASSENGER TRAFFIC INCREASES FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE MONTH New nonstop flights from Delta, Alaska help drive June numbers forward

Bu sin e Br ie f

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele today announced that passenger traffic at General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) increased more than 3.2% in June. June passenger traffic was 630,740, up from 611,001 in June of last year. New flights from Delta Air Lines (to Seattle and Boston), Alaska Airlines (to Portland, Oregon) and Volaris (to Guadalajara, Mexico) helped propel the June numbers higher. “As more travelers choose to ‘fly local’ and use MKE, more airlines are adding service here,” County Executive Chris Abele said. “In fact, we have announced new nonstop service to ten new markets in the last year, and that trend will likely continue if more travelers choose our hometown airport.” New nonstop destinations added to the MKE route map in the last year:

Alaska – Portland, Oregon Allegiant – Mesa, Arizona Allegiant – Punta Gorda, Florida Allegiant – Sanford, Florida Allegiant – St. Petersburg, Florida

Delta – Salt Lake City Frontier – Miami, Florida Southwest – Houston (Hobby) Southwest – Nashville Volaris – Guadalajara, Mexico

MKE offers nonstop flights to 47 destinations coast-to-coast – many on full-size mainline aircraft – and 160 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection. MKE is served by Air Canada, Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, OneJet, Southwest, United, and Volaris. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.

We are blessed to live in such a wonderful community, filled with compassionate and caring individuals wanting to help their neighbors in need,” said DeHaan. “United Way plays a critical role in allocating those generous donations to the areas most in need, and then monitoring those donations to be sure they are being used to benefit our local community members. We all know that the state’s budget crisis has put a major stress on many of our community’s nonprofits. It’s never been more important to give where you live than it is today, and I’m honored to be able to help play a role in that.” DeHaan, an active member of the community, is a Senior Wealth Advisor and Chief Compliance Officer of Clearwater Capital Partners based in Hoffmann Estates.
