Chamber meeting reset this Friday

By Sam Waller

The Albany Chamber of Commerce will host its annual meeting Friday, Feb. 11, after postponing the event because of last week’s winter storm.

Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones said the Chamber faced a busy week because of weather delays. A board meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 8 got the week started.

Friday’s meeting is scheduled for noon at the Beehive Restaurant with two board positions to be elected. Jones said places currently held by Clayton Snyder and Ramby Anderson will be up for vote.

Once the board election by the general Chamber membership is completed, the directors will meet to elect officers.

Also on the Chamber schedule are the Albany Stars event March 3 and the annual Membership Appreciation Crawfish Boil on April 7, as well as plans for a 2023 event.

Albany Stars

The Chamber’s Albany Stars event has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3 at the Aztec Theater.

This is the second time the Chamber will present the awards, which recognize individuals and businesses for their support of the community. The program was begun in 2020 with the intention of presenting the awards every other year.

“If anybody has nominations for someone who performs outstanding community service or supports Albany above and beyond you  should call the Chamber and let us know,” Jones said.

Jones said past recipients are eligible for this year’s awards.

Nominations may be made by calling the Chamber at 325-762-2525.
