Tuesday Talking Points
February 2, 2016
 
We appreciate you! During yesterday's Destin City Council meeting, Interim Mayor Sam Seevers presented a proclamation declaring Feb. 4 Destin Chamber Member Appreciation Day. On that day, we will visit all member business locations in the Destin area. When someone stops by your office, please allow them a moment to thank you for your membership.
50th Anniversary Chamber Trivia
When Joe Carnley was Chamber president around 1975, he solicited $100 from 10 businesses to raise the money needed to have the first Destin 4th of July fireworks. The fireworks were stored in the Chamber office, and he and a friend set them off on one of the dunes on Holiday Isle.

Thank you, Bridget Carnley, for sharing the memory! Do you have a bit of Chamber history to share? Please email it to [email protected].
