Chamber crawfish boil set March 19

By Kathy Thomson

The Albany Chamber of Commerce will host its second annual Membership Drive Crawfish Boil at the Albany Golf Course next Thursday, March 19 starting at 6:00 p.m., and Chamber members, along with those who want to join the organization, are encouraged to attend.

“All Chamber members are invited,” said Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones. “And if you’re not a member, you can come and join at the party. We’ll have special membership prices that night only including families for $50, seniors for $40, and businesses based on the number of employees.”

The Chamber is open to everyone who wants to help keep Albany stay alive and prospering, according to Jones.

The Chamber will provide crawfish, chicken, fish, deer steak, all the fixings for the meal, and water to drink.

“You can BYOB if you want something else,” said Jones. “We’ll have live music provided by volunteers and a bounce house available for the kids.”

Jones said that the turnout for last year’s event was great, and she is hoping for even more this time.

“This is an appreciation dinner for current Chamber members,” said Jones. “If you’ve not paid your annual membership yet, you can pay there; we’ll be set up to take cash, cards, or checks. Come out and join us, and feel free to bring a friend who might want to join the Chamber.”
