Trell and Team at Habitat - Lebanon Wilson Chamber

Changes are afoot at the Lebanon Chamber

Written by Brad Dawson on August 11, 2015. Posted in Chamber Blog. No Comments on Changes are afoot at the Lebanon Chamber

As summer starts to wind down, some big changes are afoot in the Chamber of Commerce. With the opening of the new Cumberland University school year comes the end of our intern’s time with the Chamber. Trell Ross was a great addition to our team, and we wish him all the best as he starts back to school. In light of his leaving, we are excited to announce that Anna Syler, our former Communications Coordinator, is back in her old office. Anna had moved to China in January of this year to work teaching special needs orphans. Her time overseas has come to a close, and though she says that she will always treasure and miss her friends and the children that she worked with in China, she is very thankful to be back with her Chamber girls — including the new addition of President & CEO Melanie Minter, who had not yet taken her position when Anna left.

In her role, Anna will be responsible for handling advertising and communications for the Chamber. For information regarding newsletter or website content, feel free to contact her at anna@lebanonwilsonchamber.com.

We are so grateful for a summer of fun and hard work with intern Trell Ross, pictured here with Chamber staff at the Habitat for Humanity’s Women’s Build.

Anna Syler is back in the Communications Coordinator position after six months working overseas.

On June 29, 2015, The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce held its annual Dr. Cary Harbrecht Memorial Summer Scramble and Golden Heroes Classic Golf Tournaments.

This was the 16th year that the Chamber held the tournament in remembrance of Dr. Cary Harbrecht, who became a member of the Wilson County Chamber of Commerce in 1972. Dr. Harbrecht served on the Chamber Board of Directors and as Membership Vice Chair from 1984-1985, served on the General Service Committee, and was founder and chairman of the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber Golf Tournament. Dr. Harbrecht passed away approximately two weeks prior to the first annual tournament. Following his passing, the Chamber Board passed a resolution, in his memory, to name the tournament “The Dr. Cary Harbrecht Memorial Golf Tournament”.

As always, time on the green was well spent, just as Dr. Harbrecht would have wished.

The winners of this year’s Golden Heroes Classic were Gary Poling, TJ Mikoletic, Dan McChurch, and Tim Ray and the winners of the Dr. Cary Harbrecht Memorial Summer Scramble were Ray Edwards, Rob Browning, Eric Thompson, and Mark Purvis.

The Chamber would like to extend a big thanks to all tournament sponsors, all tournament participants, to Five Oaks Golf & Country Club for offering a great venue for the tournament, and to anyone else who played a role in making such a great day possible.
