Annual Banquet & Meeting Is Chamber Event Of The Year

The hottest ticket in town in January is to the Belmont Chamber’s Annual Banquet. Held for the past several years at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, the event always is a sellout. It’s a gala night of celebration, with food, fellowship and fun. The date for the next banquet is January 24, 2008.

The serious portion of the evening features remarks by a noted regional leader, presentation of Citizen of the Year and the Business of the Year awards and installation of new Belmont Chamber officers and directors. There’s also a large silent auction, with lots of great deals.

A committee led by Chamber President-elect Titus Workman of the Gaston Gazette, already is hard at work on plans for the next banquet. Watch the Chamber website this fall for banquet announcements including business sponsorship opportunities and ticket information.

Under the leadership of Greg Garrison of Just Hardwoods Flooring in Belmont, the tournament has earned rave reviews in each of its first two years. Plans already are under way to make the 2008 tournament the best yet.
