NEW CHAMBER GOLF EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT!

"The World Championships of Sports" is the theme of what the Chamber hopes will become an annual golf and networking event. Each hole will have a different sports theme sponsored by a featured business. Organized by Chamber board members Cathy Forner of C4ner Management and Crystal Lanz of Lakestone Insurance, this event has been months in the planning. With Cathy's background in event planning for large sporting events like the upcoming Multi-Sport at the Lake Triathlon and Crystal's experience planning many successful Chamber events, you can expect a great time! 

“We step into theme even before the tournament even begins with a tailgate party before registration served up by the board" -Crystal Lanz, Lakestone Insurance

Included in the price of a ticket is 18 holes of golf, cart and steak dinner at Meadowlands Golf Course. The day begins with a tailgate party, then the games begin with a 12 pm shotgun start. Both members and non-members are welcome!

“The Chamber is a welcoming community, so we encourage non-members to come on out to get a sense of what we are all about.” -Cathy Forner, C-4ner Management
