January’s Business After Hours will be
held Thursday, Jan. 18, beginning at
5:30 p.m. at Anytime Fitness and WJ’s
Toy Shop, both at 14460 New Falls of
Neuse Road in Wakefield.
The chamber has set the date
for its biggest fund-raising event of
the year, the March Madness Reverse
Raffle and Auction. It will be Thursday,
March 29, beginning at 6 p.m. at Luck
Stone, 10920 Star Road. Dinner will be
catered by Jeff Dowdle, the chef at
Heritage Grill of Heritage Golf Club.
Each $100 ticket admits two
people to the part and gives each ticket
holder a one in 300 chance of winning
$7,500, pretty good odds. For another
$20, you can purchase a ticket number on
the sideboard and win an additional
$2,500.
Tickets will be available at
the chamber office or from a chamber
board member beginning Thursday, Jan.
11.
Tresa Jalot, the deputy
director for the chamber, said there are
still opportunities for people and
companies to sponsor the raffle and the
chamber is still looking for donations
for the silent and live auctions.
The money raised at the
event is used to support chamber
programs and services.. |
