The Douglas-Coffee County Chamber of Commerce is preparing for its 90th Annual Event to be held on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at Central Square in downtown Douglas at 6:30pm. 

Because the gift associated with 90th anniversaries is the emerald, the theme for the event is “Celebrating Excellence in Business and Leadership in The Emerald City – where there’s no place like home.”  Suggested attire is business formal.

“We promise to feature fabulous networking time, wonderful food and drinks and a great band,” states Andrea Taylor, Chamber President.  “We will honor our business award winners and celebrate our 90th Annual Event in style in The Emerald City.”

Keynote speaker for the event is Lorence Wenke of Kalamazoo, Michigan, President of Wenke/Sunbelt Greenhouses in Douglas.  Sunbelt Greenhouses opened in Douglas in 1983.

Wenke earned a business degree from Western Michigan University in 1967.  His flower production company is the 21st largest in the country and employs over 300 people.  Lorence was elected as a Kalamazoo County Commissioner for eight years and served three years as board chairman.  In 2002, he was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives and served the constitutional limit of six years.

Lorence and his wife Nancy have been married for 50 years and have two children and six grandchildren.  They enjoy traveling, boating, Rotary, politics, church activities and family.

Annual Event tickets and sponsorships are still available.  Please contact the Chamber of Commerce at (912) 384-1873 or email chamber @ douglasga.org for more information.
