The 7^th Annual AGLCC Pride Parade held on Saturday, June 14th, was a resounding success! Over 70 entries with 1100 participants walked the parade route to the cheers of over 45,000 spectators.  It's the biggest one yet!  Thank you Austin!!! If not for your continued support, these events would not exist.

You spoke and we listened!  The Parade volunteers had such a great time at the VIP event that we will be forming a standing Events Committee to help with all our major events throughout the year.  And of course, event volunteers will have an all-access pass to all Chamber events, big and small!  Meeting locations are yet to be determined but if you're interested in participating, contact Ceci Gratias at membership@aglcc.org
