ANNUAL
BANQUET NOVMBER 1ST
Make plans to join us for our annual gathering of the Grand
lake chamber this coming Monday night November 1st at Cherokee Yacht
Club. It all starts at 6:30 PM and will
be a fun evening as we will have a receptions style event with food and
fellowship. We ask with the $30.00
ticket that you bring an unwrapped toy that we will be giving to the Grand Lake
Community Ministries to give to the kids in the area that need a little cheer
for the holiday season. Thursday the 28th
of October is the deadline for reservations so call the office and let us know
you are coming.
We will present the officers for the 2011 Executive
Committee and hear from the 2010 president Mayor Joe Johnson and the 2011
President on the plans for the chamber as it continues to move forward with the
program of work to build on the economy of the region.
CORPORATE
CHALLENGE
On Monday of this week we held our golf outing at Patricia
Island Golf Club and had a windy good time around the course. Thanks to Andy and his staff for making the
event run smoothly. Also to our
volunteers, Joe Johnson, Peggy McGehee, Jaime Dobbins, Micelle Robertson, Lori Starks, Tiffany Green and
Kelly Rice. The winners were the team
from Collins Electric that won in a card off from second place Benefit
Recourses and third was the APEC team.
Lunch was prepared by Clanton’s Café and sponsored by the First National
Bank of Grove. Thanks to all the hole
sponsors and our event sponsor Serenity Hospice. And of course Lora Jackson for all of her help in getting it all
organized.
LAST ON
This will be my last article to Grand Lake as executive
director to the Grand Lake Chamber of Commerce. When I started at the Tulsa Boat show in 2008 I knew that we had
the leaders in the community to help set the chamber on a good course to
represent the member businesses. Since
that time the chamber has moved into the GRDA Ecosystem and Education building
and we have greeted thousands of visitors to the lake and gave them information
about our member companies. The
volunteer leaders of the chamber are working hard to find my replacement and
will announce soon whom they have selected. I would like to think the Grand Lake community for their support
during these past years. It is now time
for me to turn all my focus the Diana’s and my business that has been a joy for
the last six years. We both thank
everyone for their support over this time.
Come by for a visit!
AND REMEMBER ALWAYS:
HAVE A GREAT GRAND DAY!!!
