Announcement
from the joint May 2004 meeting: North Hays County
Business Expo
There were
130
people at the Kyle/Buda Area Chambers of
Commerce combined lunch meeting May 12 at Texas Disposals
Systems.
Dick Schneider,
Chairman of the Buda Area Chamber, welcomed everyone.
Tim Delano,
Vice President of the Kyle Area Chamber, announced the two
chambers' joint venture in presenting the "North
Hays County
Business Expo"
to take place on
Thursday, October 7, at the
Hays CISD Performing Arts
Center on Koehler's Krossing and will
accommodate
over 70 exhibitor booths.
An
After Hours Social
will be held that evening at Plum Creek Golf Course. On Friday,
October 8, the two chambers will
continue their collaboration by
sponsoring the 2004
Golf Classic, also at
Plum Creek Golf Course.
Packets of
information
about the Expo and Golf Classic were available at the
meeting. Response to the Expo has been overwhelming. We
have more
sponsors than we had anticipated.
If you are
interested in participating in either the Expo or the Golf
Classic, please contact the Kyle OR Buda Area Chamber of
Commerce
as soon as possible.
Reservations for booth space is limited to Chamber members
through June 30. If there is space still available,
reservations will open to non-members July 1.
Last year
the Kyle Area Chamber Business Expo had a train theme,
with the slogan "Movin' on Up, Get on Board." The theme
was incorporated in our advertising and in the decor of
the booths. This year we are asking for
your
ideas for a theme; and the member whose idea is chosen
will receive
$50
off their booth cost. A form for you to submit is
attached as part of the information packet. Or, you can
simply e-mail me with your ideas. Just
be sure you
include your name, phone number and name of your
business.

interested in joining a committee to lend your time and
