Join Us At The Chamber Annual Banquet February 11
Of Henry County
Founded in 1967, an organization was formed with the intent of being a highly proactive and visible influence in Henry County and the entire South Metro Region. Fifty years later, that organization, known as the Henry County Chamber of Commerce is still going strong. The Chamber had only a handful of members when it was founded in 1967. Now, it represents approximately 800 businesses. In honor of the golden anniversary, we are planning to kickoff a year-long celebration with the Annual Chamber Awards Dinner & 50th Anniversary Celebration!! The Annual Chamber Awards Dinner & 50th Anniversary Celebration will be held at the Eagle’s Landing Country Club on Saturday, February 11, 2017 at 6:00 pm. Presenting Sponsor for the banquet is Piedmont Henry. Tickets are $125 per person and tables of ten or twelve can be accommodated. The ticket order form is available on the Chamber’s dedicated Banquet website at www.hcccannualbanquet.com, or you can call the Chamber at 770-957-5786 to purchase tickets. Chamber Board of Directors Chair, Leonard Moreland will officially pass the gavel to the 2017 Chair, Rod Meadows. We will recognize the recipients of the 2016 Business of the Year; the Billy Carter Public Service Award; the Volunteer of the Year and the Citizen of the Year.
