Chamber plans family-friendly event

Next Thursday, March 7, the Albany Chamber of Commerce is hosting a meal and fun event at the Albany Golf Course from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. for Chamber members and their guests.

“All Chamber members are invited and are asked to bring a friend who wants to hear why they should join the Chamber too,” said Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones. “Please call me at 325-762-2525 to RSVP by this Friday, March 1. If I’m not there when you call, please leave a message, including the number and names of those who will be eating.”

The menu will include fried fish, crawfish if available, chicken, and side dishes. 

“We do not want to run out of food so please RSVP,” said Jones. “We will be providing water to drink. BYOB if you want something else.”

According to Jones, there will be a bounce house for kids to play in, music, and a closest to the hole contest for the adults.

“This is an appreciation dinner for current Chamber members and is taking the place of the Chamber Banquet,” said Jones. “We are encouraging our current members to invite others, including families, to join in some fun, join the Chamber, and help us make Albany great.”

Chamber memberships are $35 a year for a nonprofit, $50 a year for seniors 65 and older, $60 for a family, and start at $125 for a business, depending on the number of employees.
