135TH ANNUAL CHAMBER GALA
The Chamber's Biggest Night of the Year Takes Attendees on the Trip of a Lifetime
On October 18 at the Boise Centre in Downtown Boise, the Boise Metro Chamber celebrated its 135th Annual Gala. Nearly 770 attendees bid high on some incredible auction items and later were captivated by pilot and inspirational speaker Amelia Rose Earhart's courageous recounting of her flight around the world. Concluding the night's festivities was "corporate comedian" Greg Schwem, this year's emcee, who, along with Amelia,
energized the crowd to bid on one final grand opportunity — a trip to McCall in the same plane Amelia flew around the world. Thank you to all who attended this year's gala! Special thanks to our major sponsors — Western Aircraft, Albertsons Companies, and Key Bank — and the hundreds of Chamber members who donated over 485 items for our live, silent, and online auction. Mark your calendars for next year’s 136th Annual Gala, Thursday, October 10, 2019!
