Event Recap: Chamber After Hours at First Fed – November 2023
To help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of First Fed (and as it turned out, 3 generations of Bainbridge branch managers), a sold-out crowd of Chamber members and guests headed up to Island Village on High School Road on Thursday November 16.
Party-goers enjoyed a delicious dinner from First Fed neighbors Miguelito’s Cocina Mexicana, and sipped complementary beverages from event sponsor Eleven Winery (represented by owner Matt Albee).
Thank you to our hosts (both from both the Bainbridge branch and executives from across the region) led by new branch manager Connor Freke (congratulations!), outgoing branch manager Andrea Robertson (good luck in Jefferson County!), and former branch manager and Chamber Board Director Kimbril Moore (always great to see you back on the island!). Thanks especially for the amazing prize basket (won by lucky first-time attendee Emerie Greth of Bryte Home Loans), and the lovely door gifts for everyone in attendance.
One more time: Cheers – Here’s to 100 years of First Fed!
