2020 Chamber Banquet

February 29, 2020

The annual Chamber Banquet was held on

February 29, 2020.

Bonham, Texas -- The Bonham Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet 2020 was a huge success! The theme this year was Through the

Decades and many of the 320 attendees took that theme to heart when they dressed up in period clothing.

Hors d’oeuvres were provided by The Breakfast Stop and the most popular desserts from the decades were provided by Dina’s Catering.

A display car from each decade ('20s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s) was pro-vided by the Red River Car Club.

Randolph McGee auctioned off our 11 items donated by our Chamber Board Members and Senator Bob Hall.

The 2020 Bonham Chamber Annual Golf Tournament

will be held on May 15th at 9:00am. For Sponsorships

The 2020 Bonham Chamber Golf Tournament will be

using flight division of teams to determine prize winners.

In a golf tournament, a "flight' is a division or grouping

of golfers within the tournament, who are competing

against one another rather than against the entire field of

golfers.

The Chamber tournament will be splitting the total num-

ber of teams into three "flights" based on scores from the

tournament. If there are a total of 18 teams, ranked ac-

cording to score, then the first place prize would go to

the 1st place team, the 2nd place prize would go to the

6th place team (which would be the top team in its

"flight") and the 3rd place prize would go to the team in

12th place (the top team in its "flight").

We hope players will enjoy the twist on competition this

new tournament format will bring.

Two New Directors Needed

The Bonham Chamber of Directors is needing to fill two spots on the board. If you are interested and meet the qualifications below please contact us for more information.
