The Granville County Chamber of Commerce’s annual Thanksgiving Breakfast is being held Wednesday, November 23, at 7:30 am in the Family Life Center of Oxford Baptist Church, Main Street, Oxford.
Bridgestone’s continued sponsorship of this annual event spans 25+ years. The November Thanksgiving breakfast began as an industry-sponsored breakfast, and Bridgestone has graciously remained the event supporter for all these years. New Bridgestone plant manager Mark Highland will be attending his first Thanksgiving Breakfast event with his staff.
This year’s guest speaker is a recent recipient of Duke University’s “highest honor for distinguished service: the University Medal, a prize previously won by a physicist, a state House speaker and an Olympic coach.
Dantzler has been custodian for Duke Chapel for 19 years. He has seen his role at Duke as not just the Chapel custodian, but also as a caretaker of the University and its students. Dantzler has long worked to keep the Chapel clean and organized, but he considers his unofficial duties – advising students, befriending visitors and passing along wisdom – to be just as important,” according to an article in the Duke Chronicle.
Attendees may expect the usual Southern buffet breakfast, prepared by volunteer men at Oxford Baptist. No one will leave hungry as we depart to begin the Thanksgiving holiday celebration!
Although there is no charge to attend the breakfast, attendees are requested to bring non-perishable food donations (canned food) for Area Congregations In Ministry (ACIM).
The School of Graphic Arts/Masonic Home for Children is continuing its tradition of providing attendees with desk calendars for the new year. Also, the Chamber will be officially kicking off its promotion for the National SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY – SHOP LOCAL – SHOP GRANVILLE by providing attendees with Shop Small tote bags filled with “goodies”, gift certificates, etc. from Granville County Small Businesses. This annual event is Saturday, November 26th.
Reservations are REQUIRED with one of the Chamber’s offices by November 20th to Wanda, 919.693.6125 or Toni Anne, 919.528.4994; wanda@granville-chamber.com, tawheeler@granville-chamber.com.
