The Chamber will hold its Annual Installation Dinner meeting on Thursday, October 7 at Linkside Center at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and silent auction at 6 p.m. followed by dinner and the installation of new Directors and Officers at 7 p.m. Invitations were mailed to Chamber members in late August.

A wide array of items has already been contributed by Chamber members for the Auction including gift certificates for fishing and dolphin cruises, art work, weekend get-aways, dinners at our area's finest restaurants and the top item of a Caribbean cruise, contributed by The Walton Sun. There will be something of interest for everyone to enjoy the excitement of bidding.

During the business portion of the meeting, Chamber members will be asked to approve revisions to the organization's By-Laws. The incoming Directors and Officers for 1999-2000 will also be inducted.

Individual registrations for the Annual Installation Dinner meeting can be made by calling either Chamber office (267-0683 or 892-3191). Corporate tables of 8 or 10 are also available.
