It was a “perfect Chamber of Commerce evening” Thursday night at the Chattahoochee Country Club.Hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce’s 104th Annual Meeting and Gala.For years, the gala has provided an opportunity to recognize the volunteers who have worked hard to help Gainesville and Hall County thrive.President and CEO of the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce Kit Dunlap said she couldn’t have asked for a better evening.“We’ve changed some things throughout the years, but it’s just a way to thank our volunteers and for celebrating the good things about Hall County,” Dunlap said.Dunlap offered her sincere thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to the chamber. Twelve of those volunteers were honored with the Silver Shovel Award.One volunteer who has gone “beyond the call of duty” for the chamber was given the W.G. Mealor Chairman’s Award, named after the chamber’s first chairman and president who served from 1908-1917.Melissa Tymchuk was surprised to be honored for the hours she offered her expertise in public relations to the chamber. She led the development of the chamber’s website, updated the design of the VISION 2030 website and created a membership survey for chamber members to offer their suggestions.
