Bowling Tournaments Coming!
Last year's bowling tournament was such a fun time, and the response was unanimous - "Let's Do It Again!" This year we have 3 dates set aside for tournaments:
- March 25
- July 15
- October 21
Each date is a Thursday, and each tournament will start at 6:00 p.m. at RiverGate Bowl in Natchez, MS. Information regarding registration and fees for teams will be coming soon. Meanwhile, put those dates on your calendar for a fun time!
Weekly Newsletter
The Chamber office is developing a weekly newsletter that will be distributed each Friday, and will tell about upcoming events and items of business. We want to include news about your events and cut down on the number of emails our members receive to one per week. Please continue to send your business-related information, but please send that information in plenty of time to be added to Friday's newsletter.
