Everyone is invited to attend the Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber Annual Banquet. The banquet will be held on Thursday, April 26 at the DeKalb County Complex, located at 712 South Congress Blvd.

“We are excited to again host this enjoyable and informative event. We invite all of the public to share in this fun-filled night of dining, entertainment, and Chamber updates including the introduction of our new board, 2018 officers and recognition of our retiring board members. This is a wonderful networking opportunity and a great way to see some of the positive things that are happening in our county,” says Chamber Executive Director Suzanne Williams.

You are invited to come early to network as doors open at 5:30 p.m. The dinner and program begin at 6 p.m. The delicious meal will be served by the DeKalb Middle School Jr. Beta Club.

We invite local businesses to be a corporate sponsor for the event, to not only support the Chamber and its many programs, but as a valuable marketing opportunity. The cost of corporate sponsorship is $250. Some of the advantages include:

• Corporate Sponsors will be included on all banquet-related printed materials.
• Corporate Sponsors will be announced on the Chamber Chat Radio / TV program, in the Smithville Review, and social media outlets.
