2016 Annual Fall Golf Classic
Chambers are Creative Promoters and Producers of Popular Events
The League City Regional Chamber of Commerce (LCRCC) Annual Golf Classic, being held on
October17, 2016 at South Shore Harbour Country Club is one of our most popular and profitable
events. We have several, annual, monthly, and ad hoc events that meet our mission statement “to help
businesses thrive and together build a vibrant community.” We have a range of events, programs
and committees with a large range of diversity that our members will find several of interest; most
providing education to the businesses and economic development to our community and some just
for fun and networking. Events are part of the revenue generated for chambers, the national average is
about 15% of total annual revenue.The funds generated allow us to continue our programs that benefit
all members.
Today, let’s discuss the Annual Golf Classic. All of the LCRCC events, this one included, could not
happen without the generosity of our sponsors, we thank them all. The tournament is a fun, full day
of activities and everyone engages in networking. We can just imagine the number of connections for
future endeavors formed during the play of 18 holes of golf.
Trophies are awarded at the end of the tournament
as dinner is being served. We have a traveling trophy
that goes to the winning team and can be displayed
at their business for a year. The trophy is named for
Mary Jane Dorman who was the organizer of the
first tournament, Ms. Dorman will be playing in this
year’s event, so if you meet her please thank her for
starting a great annual tradition.
The chamber charges for teams to play and we sell
tickets for items like, split the pot, closest the hole,
the putting game and many others. All proceeds from
the event will allow us to continue our mission.

Our volunteers are the key to all events, they give of their time generously and we could not continue
to perform at such a high level of success without their help. We thank them for their help.
If you have not engaged in the chamber, now would be a great time to start. Call the chamber and talk
to any of the staff, they can answer your questions and help you find a “fit for you.” It is a great chance
to meet other members of our community,
Again, a huge “THANK YOU” to our sponsors and chairwoman Fay Picard. Please call the Chamber
