North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce - 10th Anniversary Celebration

This past Friday the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce celebrated their 10th anniversary. Kerry Kasotsky, who's a member of both the NMB chamber and the North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce and I attended the celebration, bringing a gift of congratulations from the North Brunswick Chamber.

In the photo below NMB chamber President/CEO Marc Jordan, Kerry Kasotky, and I pose with the North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce gift. (And yeah, I know that once again I forgot to take off my sunglasses inside - I do that a lot because our weather is sunny so often (and it is pretty bright) we wear sun glasses a lot and it's easy for me anyway to forget I'm wearing them.
This hanging sign over the NMBCC Visitors Center reception desk is pretty cool.

Membership and Sales Director Vicki Keibler points to the anniversary sign. Four colorful rockers on the Visitors Center front porch.
This woody was the most outrageous of the 5 antique cars parked by the Visitor Center for the day.

Here's a shot of the woody, four other cards, and the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center. Kerry pointing to Vicki.
They had an awesome cake and cookies, too, all decorated in NMB CoC colors.

As a fund raiser the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce has a duck race each year in September. In addition local businesses participate by decorating ducks in costume.
We had a great time and once again congratulate the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce on the occasion of their 10th anniversary.

A Quick Trip to North Myrtle Beach

Yesterday, for a change of pace, I went to a Business After Hours. This time, however, it wasn't in Leland, North Carolina, but in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I went down (it's only an hour away) with SendOutCards distributor Kerry Kasotsky to meet some folks and see how they do Business After Hours. The quick answer is they do 'em up pretty fine!

This event was held at a huge spa. There were roughly 80-100 people present.When we signed in (there's Kerry on the right - she's a member, I was a guest), everyone was very friendly.
Catering was provided by The House of Blues and Wild Wings - they were busy!

North Myrtle Beach Chamber's Visitor Center Director Ruth Anne Ellis was a lot of fun. We met her right off - and of course took pictures of each other.
Kerry is a huge fan of The Carolina Oprey and was happy to meet some folks who work there.
Two Chamber ambassadors on hand were Cathy Honeycutt of WFXB Fox TV and Betty Mauney.
I tried a paraffin wax treatment for my hands. It was pretty cool. Well, actually it was sorta hot, the wax, that is, but it wasn't painful, and after a while of course it cooled off, well really it got to room temperature, or maybe skin temperature, but then they took the gloves off and peeled off the extra paraffin and I rubbed the oil in it all felt good. So that's cool.
Just before we left we checked out a couple of energy efficient street cars in the lobby.
I had a good time, we met some nice people, and it was good to experience a Business After Hours event in another area. Thanks, North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, come up to see us some time!
