**Annual Banquet

Mark your calendar now for the Weatherford Area Chamber of Commerce Banquet set for January 24, 6:30 p.m. in SWOSU's ballroom.  Theme for the banquet is "This is My Town."  The evening will celebrate the 2007 Chamber activities and honor the Chamber volunteers who make it happen! 

The banquet will feature something different this year in terms of table decorations.  Chamber members are being asked to serve as "Table Sponsors" for the banquet. Table Sponsors will receive event recognition. 

As a table sponsor, the Chamber member is responsible for

·         decorating a table of eight using the banquet theme or a theme of their choice, such as one representing their place of business,

·         providing one "gift" for each individual seated at the table,

·         providing one prize for their table, which will be given away to the individuals seated at their table, and

·         having one member of their business seated at the table to serve as host.

Banquet attendees will be encouraged to mix and mingle while viewing the table decorations and then select a table where they would like to sit and enjoy the evening events.

The winner of the Chamber's Chamber Bucks $3,000 drawing will also be announced at the banquet.  Tickets are now available for the banquet and the Chamber Bucks drawing.  Banquet tickets are $25 per ticket and $100 per ticket for the Chamber Bucks drawing.   Tickets are available at the Chamber office or from any Board of Director.
