Chairman’s Message<br />
Iwant to start by thanking all <strong>of</strong> you who attended<br />
our Annual Dinner in February. The evening was<br />
a wonderful way to applaud the<br />
successes <strong>of</strong> 2011, recognize those<br />
who do so much for the <strong>Chamber</strong> and<br />
community, and celebrate the <strong>Beach</strong><br />
<strong>Chamber</strong>’s 25-year history. I want to<br />
congratulate our award winners<br />
again, Pioneer <strong>of</strong> the Year, Philip<br />
Griffitts, Sr.; Humanitarian <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Year, Ramon Duvall; Small Business<br />
Person <strong>of</strong> the Year, Konrad Jochum;<br />
and<br />

Without members like<br />
you, the <strong>Chamber</strong> could not carry out its<br />
mission each year. Thank you for all you do.<br />
<strong>This</strong><br />
issue <strong>of</strong> The Circuit is our Annual Dining Out issue,<br />
and features some <strong>of</strong> the best restaurants and dining<br />
establishments in our community. I encourage you<br />

President’s Message<br />
What a year 2012 has already been for the<br />
<strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong>! We are<br />
constantly creating and<br />
implementing new ventures to better<br />
benefit our members. I have only a<br />
positive outlook that we will continue to<br />
move forward and continue to expand<br />
our membership opportunities.<br />
Having just celebrated the <strong>Chamber</strong>’s<br />
25th Anniversary at our Annual<br />
Dinner, the evening only received<br />
raving reviews, and was truly as<br />
elegant an evening as the white roses<br />
that surrounded us. Again, I want to<br />
congratulate all <strong>of</strong> our award recipients<br />
and thank them for all they have done for the <strong>Chamber</strong><br />
and our great community.<br />
Our Annual Dining Out issue <strong>of</strong> The Circuit is always<br />
a favorite <strong>of</strong> mine. We take a closer look at some <strong>of</strong> our<br />
choice dining establishments and their specialty items.<br />
<strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> has plenty <strong>of</strong> great food and we<br />
want to highlight all it has to <strong>of</strong>fer. As you flip through<br />
the pages, you might find a delicious surprise or two!<br />
I want to continue to encourage everyone<br />
to get involved with the <strong>Chamber</strong> in<br />
any way they can. By participating in<br />
any one <strong>of</strong> our committees, or signing<br />
up to attend a <strong>Chamber</strong> events, these<br />
are just a few ways to benefit you in<br />
being a member. Continue to stay up<br />
to date by picking up the newest issue<br />
<strong>of</strong> The Circuit or opening our weekly<br />
electronic newsletter, the <strong>Beach</strong> Buzz.<br />
As Spring Break is upon us, take full<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> our tourist information<br />
lobby to display your business<br />
brochures and coupons. <strong>This</strong> is just one benefit that I<br />
encourage all members to use. Thank you for continuing<br />
to support the <strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong>. There are<br />
only more great things to come in 2012!<br />
All the best,<br />
Beth Oltman, IOM<br />
