A Royal Invitation to our Annual Meeting & Banquet:
The Queens & Kings Edition!
You are hereby summoned to a regal celebration fit for royalty! The time has come to crown the achievements, talents, and contributions of our community's finest at the chamber's annual meeting & banquet — this year’s theme is all about queens & kings!
The 152nd Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and Banquet was held on Saturday, January 25, sponsored by Pacific Power, at the Clatsop County Fair & Expo Center Exhibit Hall.
The grand feast was catered by Bridgewater Bistro. Attendees enjoyed complimentary beverages including selections from Buoy Beer Company, Clatsop Distributing, Fort George Brewery, Pacifick Distillers, Pilot House Distilling and Van Dusen Beverages.
You helped us say thank you to our outgoing board members, welcome our new ones and recap the chamber’s past year. The close of the event included the much-anticipated announcements of the community service awards recipients and other recognition. AWACC is proud to have the opportunity to serve our business community since 1873 and we look forward to many more years promoting and supporting our growing list of members.
