The scholarship will be

Livonia’s Business Connection
Dan West, President
Many Livonia
businesses saw
gradual growth as the
city’s unemployment
rate continued in the
right direction, below
6 percent in 2011. This
helped the Livonia
Chamber of
Commerce also
experience a bit of a
resurgence as well.
Here are some highlights:
•The Chamber’s membership surpassed 800 for
the first time in several years.
•A combined total of 1,800 people attended four
major Chamber luncheons held in 2011: They
were events that featured Governor Rick Snyder,
Mayor Jack Kirksey, Detroit Red Wings Head
Coach Mike Babcock, and County Executives
Bob Ficano and L. Brooks Patterson.
These accomplishments were made possible by
our loyal, interested, and generous members and
by the efforts of our dedicated staff. The
collective effort generated a lot of buzz for our
community, chamber and our businesses. For
that, I wish you all a heart-felt thank you!
We collected some 160 surveys from our
members in e-mails and at our Membership
Appreciation Reception in November as we
continue our planning for events and programs
that will support our members in 2012. In those
surveys, the most-common reason why people
are involved in the Livonia Chamber of
Commerce is the networking opportunities.
That will be a motivating factor as we tweak our
events and introduce new programs in 2012.
President Column continues on page 8.
•The Chamber expanded its offering of video
resources with a new You Tube Channel, which
featured short videos of grand openings and
events and a touching presentation by Babcock,
and clips of city council and school board
candidates.
•The Chamber created a new Home
Improvement Show at Churchill High School in
March which attracted 55 exhibitors and some
500 people.
•The Chamber expanded its programming to
include individualized workshops with on-line
social networks.
•Creation of the Livonia Industrial Council,
which has evolved into a workforce
development initiative designed to support local
manufacturers and related industries.
Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano and
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson
were the featured speakers at a joint Chamber
luncheon in November. For more details see page 6.

COUNTY EXECUTIVES SPEAK TO BUSINESSES
JOINT CHAMBER LUNCHEON
Livonia and Greater Farmington Area Chambers of
Commerce joined again to bring Wayne County Executive
Robert Ficano and Oakland County Executive L. Brooks
Patterson to the same stage on November 15 at St. Mary’s
Cultural Center. In March, the two Chambers united to bring
Governor Snyder in front of 650 people.
Two-hundred and forty people heard both county executives
talk about their counties and some of the issues being
discussed in Southeast Michigan and answer questions from
the audience in a relaxed format.
Patterson highlighted some of the cost-cutting measures of
Oakland County, getting rid of longevity pay, health care
coverage of retirees and pay freezes and reductions over a
five-year period for county employees, among other measures.
“I believe in long-range planning vs. crisis management,”
Patterson said. He also highlighted the county's wisdom in
preparing three-year budgets.
Ficano said on a recent trade mission, he spoke to business and
government leaders. “There are three cities they know, New
York for Wall Street, Los Angeles for Hollywood and movies,
and Detroit. For 100 years, we've had a history of putting the
world on wheels and they recognize that.”
AT
Ficano said the county cut its work force and cut all salaries by
10 percent, including his own, but was brief in his response to
a question about severance packages.
At moments they made jokes about each other. Near the end
they discussed which Republican Presidential candidate they
thought should win the Republican primary. Ficano being a
Democrat did not have the same enthusiasm as the
conservative Patterson.
“We all know Mr. Ficano is going through a challenging time,
but we appreciate that he joined us to meet with this unique
business audience,” Livonia Chamber President Dan West said.
“It was an extremely professional environment.”

New Ideas In Place For 2012
President Column continued from page 1.
Please keep in mind, everyone may not be attracted to all our
events, but we hope everyone will at least be interested in a
number of our programs coming next year. Here are some of
the things we are planning:
• At least two major luncheons throughout the year, in
addition to the State of the City Luncheon in March.
We’ve reached out to several high-profile speakers and
hope to make some announcements soon.
• Continue efforts to increase the tech-savvy talent pool
for local manufacturers through the Livonia Industrial
Council.
We believe Livonia is home to a community-oriented base of
businesses, organizations, and residents who are loyal to this
town. This is what makes our community tick. And this makes
it imperative for the Livonia Chamber of Commerce to play a
productive role in supporting the community dynamics.
This is what motivates us as we work to support you and the
Place Mall on May 10, in a move that will lower the cost collective business community. We hope you will join us for
another interesting ride in 2012 as we work together to
for exhibitors while increase their exposure to foot
continue the momentum of our community’s resurgence.
traffic. We will also revamp our Expo evening Taste
event which will be held in the Marriott Hotel.
• The Livonia Business Expo will move to Laurel Park
• The Chamber plans to hold an Oktoberfest event in the
fall, an outdoor event that will feature a variety of food,
beer and entertainment.
• More events that feature basic after-work networking
and tours of Livonia’s plants.
On behalf of the
Chamber’s Board of
Directors and staff, we wish you
a Happy Holiday season
and a productive 2012!

MEMBER PROFILE____________________________
Stevenson alum returns home to
build new chain of tanning salons
A Livonia native has returned home to open a trendy line of
tanning salons in metro Detroit, starting with his first location
in Livonia, on Plymouth Road near Farmington Road.
The first Zip Tanz opened in late-September at a location
with trendy interior décor and new stand-up tanning
equipment at the site of a former tanning salon at Livonia’s
Fountain Park development.
“Our price, interior motif, floor, and new stand-up equipment
– which tans you twice as fast a lay down machine – is our
competitive edge,” Manager Felisha Sharp said. “You can pay
$9.99 a month for unlimited visits, nobody can beat that! We
are Cleaner, Faster, and Stronger than our competition, and we
have the best prices on tanning lotion!”
Jon German is a 1993 Livonia Stevenson High School graduate
and earned a degree in marketing from Michigan State
University. He eventually moved for Florida where we
developed a luxury beachside real estate business. He spends
most of his time in Florida, but wanted to return to his native
Livonia to establish his new tanning concept. In his own way,
he is bringing the Florida sunshine back to his hometown.
“I wanted to come back to Livonia and leave a mark in the
place I grew up,” German said.
Zip Tanz has nine stand-up tanning units, which are designed
for five- to 10-minute visits, and one spray-tan which, German
said, is designed to help people turn from “faded to fabulous”
in 60 seconds with a topical tanning spray featuring DHA, a
colorless chemical that is not absorbed through the skin into
the body and it has no known toxicity, according to the
American Academy of Dermatology.

Member Profile continued from page 9.
“It is a fun business,” German
said. “People are having a good
time when they come in to see
you. They come here because
people put a good emphasis on
looking their best and we can help
them do that.”
Now that German has opened his
first salon in Livonia, he plans to
open Zip Tanz locations in Royal
Oak, Troy and West Bloomfield in
summer 2012. He has plans to
grow awareness of his new
enterprise with a strong print and
on-line advertising presence and
via targeted mailing.
Dan West, president of the
Livonia Chamber of Commerce,
said German’s enterprise is the
latest of many examples of former
L ivonians who r et ur n
contribute to their hometown.
to
“Many people who grow up here
and move away, still maintain an
allegiance for Livonia,” West said.
“In this case, Jon has decided to
stay engaged with this place by
sharing his entrepreneurial spirit
and abilities.”
Zip Tanz in Livonia is open from
9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through
Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
Saturday, and 12 noon to 6 p.m.
on Sunday. The phone number is
