Congressman Connie Mack speaker at upcoming chamber gala
Saturday, Jan. 17, at the DiamondHead All Suites Beach Resort, the Greater Fort Myers Beach Area Chamber of Commerce will be holding its annual dinner and awards gala.
The event will celebrate the people in the chamber who made 2008 successful.
The featured speaker for this event is Congressman Connie Mack IV.
The timing of the Congressman’s speech is of particular interest because a President Elect Obama will be sworn in just three days later.
Further, the ongoing discussions about the $700 billion bailout and the difficulties on what to do about the auto industry and the economy as a whole will be of particular interest.
Congressman Mack has worked hard to clean up the Caloosahatchee River, widen I-75, and is a major proponent for less government and less taxes.
A reception will begin at 5 p.m. followed by the program and a formal dinner. The recommended dress is business dress. The cost is $75 per person for chamber members and $80 per person for non-members.
