Past Events

Several KSU students and Akron Chapter members, along with a couple Goodyear associates who had "never been", went on a tour of Goodyear's Innovation Center Manufacturing plant.  This facility, located at the headquarters location produces tires for the racing circuit.  We started with a history of the facility, some accounting statistics, and then saw actual racing slicks for NASCAR and NHRA being made.  This tour was extremely informative and we were able to meet the people who make these tires.  

The Akron Chapter enjoyed an evening baseball game at Canal Park on Saturday, August 12, 2017.  The Akron Rubber Ducks were victorious over Binghamton.....final score 1-0.  The weather was nice, the beer was cold, and a friend of one of our chapter members threw out the first pitch.  After the game, there were fireworks set to the music of Bob Seger. 

 

We had lots of fun learning about various wines and food pairings, while networking with fellow Akron Chapter members.
