Special to The Monitor
SEVEN POINTS–The Tool/Seven Points Branch of The Greater Cedar Creek
Lake Area Chamber of Commerce (TGCCLACC) met Nov. 1 at Danny and
Shirley’s Dairy Queen of Seven Points.
The bi-monthly general meeting and networking breakfast brought a full
house to talk about community issues, such as the widening of State
Highway 334, new businesses in the area and upcoming calendar events for
the area chamber of commerce.
Don Gano, marketing director for LakePlex Bowling Lanes in Seven Points,
invited those in attendance to the Tuesday, Nov. 21, Business After
Hours at LakePlex.
The business will provide free bowling, free shoes and use of a ball for
chamber of commerce members from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Gano, along with Jo Ann Hanstrom, President of TGCCLACC, also introduced
a new winter bowling league for chamber members that’s scheduled for
early 2007.
Hanstrom and representatives from The Library at Cedar Creek Lake (Tere
Hatcher/A.G. Edwards, Chairman of the Library Board, and Sue Brown of
Friends of The Library) brought information on the upcoming fund-raiser
for the chamber and the library.
For the first time, the chamber, the library and the Henderson County
Performing Arts Center have formed a partnership to bring the HCPAC
Touring Company’s production of “Honky Tonk Laundry” to the stage at
Main Place Cinema in Seven Points Friday, Nov. 17.
The musical starts at 7 p.m., tickets are $20 each and proceeds benefit
both The Library at Cedar Creek Lake and The Greater Cedar Creek Lake
Area Chamber of Commerce.
“This is a perfect opportunity for area citizens to support the library
for education, the chamber for the business community and the arts at
Cedar Creek Lake, all under one roof at Main Place Cinema, and all for
one low ticket price. Bring your friends and family and start the 2006
holiday season off right,” Hanstrom said.
The Tool/Seven Points branch meets at 8 a.m. on the first Wednesday of
every other month for the networking breakfast. The next meeting will be
Wednesday, Jan. 3.
All members and potential members of TGCCLACC are welcome and encouraged
to attend and enjoy the networking with the Tool/Seven Points branch
members.
