Hartselle Area Chamber Of Commerce: Hartselle, Alabama

MARCH 18, 2004

We have just completed a very busy week of activities at the Chamber. The week began on Tuesday, March 9th when we co-hosted the State of the County Breakfast at Sparkman Civic Center. Our guest speaker was Morgan County Commission Chairman Larry Bennich. Mr. Bennich gave us a re-cap of the many projects both completed and underway in our county. The speech ended with an emotion filled surprise when he said, "It's been a good ride…at this time I will not be in this race". The breakfast attendance exceeded 120 people.

I then attended the City Council meeting that evening and announced our NEW Spring event. On April 24th, 2004 we will host the "Wings of Thunder" Bike Rally and Poker Run. This is a motorcycle show and ride (a.k.a. Poker Run). We will have music, food and vendors and everyone is welcome. The event will begin and end at the airport. Look for more details on this soon. I also announced the dates of the upcoming Washington Legislative trip and invited the Mayor and Council, as well as all other concerned citizens, to attend. The trip is scheduled for May 2-4, 2004. It is so important to stay in front of our legislative representatives in Washington and to remain consistent in the desires and needs of Hartselle. If you are interested in going to Washington this May please call the Chamber for more details.

On Thursday the March 11th we hosted the Chamber Annual Meeting, also at Sparkman Civic Center. As in the past we presented the 2004-2005 Board of Directors and presented the following awards to some very deserving recipients. Please read more about this event elsewhere in today's paper.

Ambassador of the Year - Ms. Bettye English
E.R. Roberts Business & Civic Award - William "Bill" A. Camp
Thomas M. Guyton Humanitarian Award - Mr. Charles Sanford
John J. Sparkman Citizenship Award - Dr. Andrew Dukes

Our guest speaker was Mr. Ralph Stacey, President of the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama. Ralph kept the audience in stitches as he relayed stories from his childhood and life experiences.

The Hartselle Area Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to an eventful, pro-active and aggressive 2004-05 and invites you to join in the activities.
