Dear Friends
Hope all is well with you and yours.  For the past several years I have been involved with a local group of individuals who’s sole purpose is to give back to the community.  We have done this by sponsoring “100 Men Who Cookâ€. Â
At this event we cook some of our favorite dishes to raise needed funds for local non-profit organizations.  Some past organizations are Albion Fellow’s Bacon Center, Boys & Girls Club, YWCA & CASA.  The vent this year is for The Koch Family Children’s Museum. It will be held at the Old National Events Plaza in Evansville, IN on Aug. 24th, starting at 6:00pm. It’s great fun. If you would like to attend email 100menwhocook@oldnational.com or call 812-468-0376.
I am asking you at this time to help by making an online tip donation.  As one of the Chef’s we vie to see who can raise the most TIPâ€S.  Go online athttps://evansville.100menwhocook.com click on “Meet Our Chef’sâ€, Click on State Representative Ron Bacon and make a donation.  Help me win the GoldenSpatula.  I won several years back and would like to do so again.  All proceeds go to the local Non–Profit Organization.

Tri-State Manufacturers’ Alliance Q3 Event Lean Practical Applications
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Southwest Indiana Chamber Tri-State Manufacturers’ Alliance will host the Q3 Event: Lean Practical Applications from 7:30am to 10:30pm at IVY Tech Community College on August 8, 2019.
Join us and learn from the Best of the Best in LEAN in the United States as we welcome AME Hall of Fame winner Art Byrne and Shingo-prize winning author Jim Benson!
From team leader to CEO, from manufacturers to hospitals to civic entities,
from small to large enterprises…Everyone can learn from the best and make your organization stronger!
How did Art Byrne apply it and create great success stories for American Manufacturing companies?
Speaker Art Bryne While serving as CEO or an equivalent position, Byrne implemented lean principles in more than 30 companies (including subsidiaries) and 14 countries during the past 30 years, giving him a matchless knowledge of how to turn around companies using a lean strategy. Byrne began his lean journey as general manager at the General Electric Company. Later, as group executive, he helped introduce lean to the Danaher Corporation. As CEO of The Wiremold Company he quadrupled the company size and increased its enterprise value by 2,500% in less than 10 years.
Speaker Jim Benson is a Shingo-prize winning author, a civil engineer, an urban planner, a business-owner, a consultant, and owns seven bar-be-ques. He’s worked with cities as small as Albion, Michigan, and run multi-million dollar projects for the United Nations. He’s planned and designed light rail systems, freeways, and the transportation plans for literally every city in Oregon (and was glad when that project was over) He owned a successful software company and, as a consultant has worked with nobel prize winners, Fortune 10 companies, small two-person restaurants, governments, and so on. He is on the faculty of the Lean Enterprise Institute and the Deming Institute. He loves this stuff.
