| HOLIDAY SOCIAL AND TRIVIA DEC. 1 |

Each year, chamber members gather to celebrate the season BEFORE it gets too busy.
This year we hope you'll share some of your time (and talent) at the December 1st Holiday Social and Trivia.
The evening will begin at 5:30pm with appetizers, a buffet, and Wine/Spirits Pull. It will continue to include the Silent Auction, networking, desserts, Trivia, and pulling the $500 Holiday Cash Raffle winner. Raffle Tickets for that prize are $10 each or 3 for $25 and are in the chamber office. Admission is $20 for members.
Donations of raffle prizes and bottles for the pull are needed as well as sponsors, volunteers, and attendees...you!
All this and more at the Holiday Social. Sign up today but not later than November 25th. We hold three chamber fundraisers throughout the year and this is one of them....the final for 2016. There is something for every member at this event!
