Chamber Banquet Video
In case you missed it...
 | | Centralia-Chehalis Chamber Banquet Video 2012 |
This video opened the 2012 Annual Banquet. Executive Director Jim Valley pretended to 'forget' about the banquet and had to be found online via 'Skype.'
Thanks to Chehalis City Councilor Terry Harris, Chehalis City Manager Merlin MacReynold, Centralia City Councilor Bill Bates, Jenni Bodnar & Juanita Pina from Thorbecke's, Julie Young from Dick's Brewing for your help. And a special thanks to our surprise person. It wouldn't have worked without you.
It's just a fun thing we did to add a little levity to the banquet. No money was spent on this video, in case you couldn't tell. |
