Our first Lunch and Learn for 2013 was held Tuesday, February 19 at the Chamber.  This event was sponsored and presented by Community Hospice of NE Florida.  Maureen Paschke, our local representative with Community Hospice, shared the advantages and benefits of making the decision to call Community Hospice when that need arises.  If you need information about hospice, you can contact the Chamber office for names and telephone numbers.  

The Chamber's annual golf tournament is right around the corner.  The event will be held at Bent Creek Golf Course in Jacksonville  Friday, April 19th.  Registration will begin at 8:30 with tee off at 9:00 am.  The price per player is $60 and includes continental breakfast, green fees, range balls, cart, prizes and lunch.  

Hole sponsorships are available for $125 and corporate sponsorships for $350. The corporate sponsorship includes two players.   Both sponsorships include a sign located on the golf course, a sign board displayed during the tournament and a thank you in the Baker County Press.  Corporate sponsors are also located on a display in the Chamber office for the year.

We are excited that the tournament is going to be at Bent Creek.  We will be trying some new prizes and activities.   Call or email the Chamber to reserve your spot.
