Previous Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce chairmen and women were the guests of the hour at the Chamber Chairman’s reception on Nov. 17.

As guests entered the doors of Amore, the previous chamber chairmen and women greeted them happily. The annual member appreciation event gives chamber members a chance to mingle with previous chairmen and women, as long as meet future ones, like chairman-election Mike Doll. He will replace current chairwoman Tammy Halstead in 2017.
