Former JFK Secret Service agent to speak at Chamber dinner

The Easton Chamber of Commerce will celebrate their tenth annual Business Appreciation Night at the Easton Country Club on Thursday, January 30, 2014. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination, the chamber is pleased to welcome guest speaker, Norman Katz, former US Secret Service Military Attaché.  Katz is one of 11 special agents still alive from that fateful day when our nation’s 35th President, John F. Kennedy was assassinated.  He will give a historic account of what happened that day and in the days that followed. The presentation will include original photographs and memorabilia from the assassination and the swearing in of President Lyndon B. Johnson in the aftermath of the shooting.

The chamber dinner will also feature the presentation of two awards, the 2013 Outstanding Business Citizen Award and the 2013 Community Scholarship Award.  The business award will be given to a local business person in recognition of their outstanding support of the Easton community and its citizens.  Selection will be based upon overall community support in the areas of financial contributions, employee volunteerism, sponsorship and community leadership.  The Scholarship will be presented to a graduating high school senior in recognition of a community service project that had a positive impact on the town. Both the nomination and scholarship forms can be found on the chamber website, www.easton-chamber.com. The deadline to apply is December 6.

All members of the Easton business community are welcome to attend this event.  There is no charge for members of the Easton chamber and $25 for non members. The evening will include hors d’oeuvres, a buffet dinner and a cash bar.  If you are interested in attending, please call (508) 238-2225 or email kerri@easton-chamber.com
