Kyle Chamber of Commerce
The Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce is preparing for an exclusive Black Tie affair that will take place on February 27 at the Plum Creek Golf Course here in Kyle and it will be one simply charming event. This evening awards gala called Gala on the Green: A Masquerade Ball will be celebrating all the great things that continue to happen in the fifth fastest growing city in Texas.
We will have a live auction and silent auction for the awards gala filled with unique items that will not be easy to find anywhere else. Our most extravagant fundraiser is essential to the Kyle Chamber’s goal to promote, empower, and be a valuable resource to the business community and chamber members; and to position our community as a tourism location and ideal place to live. Tickets for this event are open to the public.
