Events for September 2016
Decatur-Morgan County Chamber of Commerce
Sep 1    2016 Member Appreciation Tailgate Party

Get ready to kick off fall and football Sept. 1, 4-6 p.m. at the Chamber for our annual Member Appreciation tailgate party. Once again, we will feature local Morgan County restaurants for the food, which will have a "Saturday tailgate" theme. We encourage you to wear your team colors and enjoy the day like you're on your favorite campus. 

This Chamber can't do the work it does in workforce and education, business development, public policy, community development and leadership without a strong membership. You are part of all the work we do, and we are incredibly thankful for your investment in the Chamber. 

The event is made possible by Silver Sponsors Pepsi of Decatur, Spectrum Business and The Terrace at Priceville. We hope you make plans to join us for what is always a fun event!
