Chamber Presents Holiday Gift
to Hollywood Community
The Hollywood community and Chamber members will be
treated to a free screening of a classic holiday movie this
year, thanks to sponsorship by the Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce and Foundation.
Scrooge, the holiday 1970s classic
film starring Albert Finney, will be
screened on Saturday, December
20th, at 2 p.m. at the historic
Egyptian Theatre. Seats will be
available on a first-come, first-served
basis. This is the second year that the
Chamber has collaborated with
American Cinematheque to present
a “gift” to the community. Last year,
the movie A Christmas Story, was
screened. “The Chamber is pleased
to be able to do something special for the community during
the holidays,” said Chamber President Leron Gubler. “We
invite our members to attend and enjoy the screening.”
