Community members and businesses are invited to attend the Blaine Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting, which will include a silent auction, business awards and catered dinner.
The event will be held 5-7 p.m. Thursday, February 24 at Loomis Trail Golf, 4342 Loomis Trail Road.
This year’s event is a smaller-scale version of Bite of Blaine, the chamber’s previous annual general meeting, that was canceled last year because of the pandemic. Although slightly more business-oriented than the Bite of Blaine, community members are welcome to attend the event, chamber executive director Sheila Wood said.
A silent auction will raise money for Blaine’s Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration.
“This year, we’re planning on doing the car show, parade and firework show,” Wood said of the 4th of July event. “In order to do that, we need support of community members to make it an exciting event.”
Bite of Blaine raised about $8,000 during its February 2020 event, according to Wood.
Auction prizes will include a one-night stay at Semiahmoo Resort, two rounds of golf at Loomis Trail Golf and a gift basket from Silverado Bellingham Memory Care Community.
Dinner and awards will accompany the silent auction. Silver Reef Casino Resort will cater with a mixed greens salad, steak, white cheddar mac and cheese, buttermilk mashed potatoes and rolls.
Tickets are $35 each or $280 for an eight-person table. Attendees are encouraged to register early as space with social distancing is limited to 50 guests, Wood said. Registration can be done by visiting blainechamber.com and clicking on “upcoming events.”
