This week, we were pleased to have Brooke Pelton from Firelands Collision by Diehl located in Norwalk share her expertise. Brooke is one of our newest members and we were excited to hear her presentation for the first time.
Brooke gave us a great look at the high-tech system Firelands Collision uses to keep customers informed throughout the entire repair process. From the initial call and estimate, through every step of the repair, customers can stay up to date on the progress of their vehicle until it is completed. No wondering what is happening with your vehicle—just consistent communication every step of the way!
Firelands Collision has the largest auto body repair facility in the area, with the capability to repair all makes and models, including semi trucks and RVs. They can also help arrange rental vehicles while your vehicle is being repaired.
Brooke has been with Firelands Collision for two years and takes a great deal of responsibility in making sure customers are satisfied with their repair experience.
Thank you, Brooke, for educating us about Firelands Collision and the importance of keeping customers informed and cared for throughout the repair process!
Firelands Collision by Diehl — quality repairs, advanced technology, and customer-focused service. 🚙🔧

Our recent speaker at the Huron County IRN meeting was Stephanie Pickering of Cornerstone Caregiving, a In-Home Heath-care Service.

What a powerful IRN presentation!

After surviving six strokes and a brain aneurysm, Stephanie had to relearn how to walk, talk and ride a bike. That experience shaped her approach to caregiving and her commitment to helping Cornerstone clients feel seen, respected and independent.

Cornerstone helps people remain at home with companionship, meals, light housekeeping, laundry, transportation, errands and other daily support.

Stephanie’s key message says it all: A caregiver can help your daughter be your daughter, your son be your son, and your spouse be your spouse again.

Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your story and showing us the heart behind Cornerstone’s work!

For more information on how Cornerstone can help you give them a call at 567-753-7677 or email Stephanie at:

Water, fire, smoke, or mold—there’s more to restoration than meets the eye!

Thank you to our chapter’s restoration representative, Riley Cafin from SERVPRO of Tiffin for an informative and interactive presentation!

She shared how her team finds hidden moisture, uses specialized drying equipment, and helps homeowners through the restoration process with care and professionalism. A little friendly competition with a restoration quiz kept everyone on their toes!

The big takeaway? What you can see may only be part of the problem. Addressing damage early and knowing when to call a professional can make a big difference.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for helping others!

For cleaning restoration or construction service services, don’t hesitate to call Riley at 419-619-0900.

This week at Huron County IRN, Brandon Kraft, owner of Move This Out, gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into planning a successful move.

From protecting antiques and furniture to carefully loading the truck, Brandon showed us that moving is much more than heavy lifting—it takes experience, strategy, and attention to detail.

Need help with a local or long-distance move? Brandon and his crew are ready to “Move This Out!”

This week’s speaker at our weekly IRN meeting was Andrea Welfle of Welfle Creative. Andrea shared an honest look at growing a small business—from doing everything herself to building a talented team.

Her biggest lesson: Being good at your work isn’t the same as knowing how to run and grow a business. Success starts with a strong foundation—a professional website, accurate Google listing, consistent information, and a clear marketing plan. Social media and AI can help, but they still need strategy and a human touch.

Thank you for the informative and thought-provoking presentation!

This week’s featured speaker at the Huron County IRN luncheon was Chris Stang, a CPA with 26 years of experience helping individuals and small businesses.

Chris explained that his work goes far beyond preparing tax returns. He helps clients understand Ohio’s complicated city and school-district taxes, choose the proper business structure, plan for retirement, and prepare for major life changes such as marriage, divorce, buying or selling a business, and transferring a business to the next generation.

His best referrals are small-business owners, people who are new to Ohio, or anyone facing a significant financial change. Chris’s message was simple: Good tax planning should happen before a decision is made—not after tax season arrives.

Thank you, Chris, for an informative and eye-opening presentation!
