Chamber members sponsor and support our future leaders. Businesses have enjoyed this annual event for decades and it’s so simple! Pay for your lunch and a senior or two and enjoy getting to know the students, hearing of their future academic plans, enjoy some music by the high school stage band all while enjoying a semi formal lunch. Be ready come mid April when the list goes out to Chamber members. Many members know a senior high student they would like to sponsor and are fast and furious about getting the sponsorship form in. If you don’t know a senior - it’s a great way to get to know one. This event is also where the scholarship winners, as funded by the Golf Scramble, are announced.

This Chamber Member only event is held mid-May.
