We had initially announced a date in the new year, but due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, we are now looking at a date in March 2021. It will be held at the Doyle Con- vention Center. The theme is “Adven- ture Awaits,” and, amidst iconic im- ages of faraway lands and traveling machines, you will feel transported and inspired. The Board of Directors and staff of the Texas City–La Marque Chamber invite you to celebrate this adven- ture-filled night with colleagues and friends, delicious food and drinks, festive entertainment and prestigious awards. At this event, the outgoing Chair of the Board, Rusty Placke- meier with Lyons & Plackemeier, will pass the gavel to the 2021 Chair, Georgia Meyer Barzilay of Karat Creations Jewelry. The banquet program will include the installation of 2021 Chamber officers and directors, as well as naming the Outstanding Citizen of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Large Business of the Year and the Jimmy Hayley Community Service Award winners.
