92nd Annual Chairman's Banquet
The Jasper-Lake Sam Rayburn Area Chamber of Commerce 92nd Annual Chairman's Banquet was held on Friday, January 28, 2011 at the Wesley Center at the First United Methodist Church of Jasper, Texas. The evening was a huge success thanks to our members who sponsor the event.
The night began with a welcome from Outgoing Chairman of the Board, Marcus Dickerson and invocation by Bobby South of the Church of Christ on Hwy 96 South. After dinner the entertainment began with LaDonna Gatlin. LaDonna was a hit with the audience. She sang some good old songs and made everyone laugh until their stomach hurt, plus her message was very inspirational.
Then the awards ceremony began, we had some very deserving recipients this year.
