Baytown Civic Center Aims to Attract Conventions

Baytown's Civic Center will aid convention growth by providing meeting and dining space under one roof and nearby motel options. Chamber official Dave Moore says the package deal, including set motel rates, will lure organizations and boost Baytown as a conferencing destination. The Texas Professional Golf Tournament drew about 500 attendees, a past example of Baytown's convention draw.

CG Assists But Has No Real Power

The Chamber of Commerce offers aid and action on community issues but lacks direct authority. It cannot enforce city cleanups, stop unlicensed door to door sales, or recover money from book companies. Staff mostly listen, advise, or refer to capable entities, as noted by manager Dave Moore.

Commodores Club Spurs Chamber Growth Under Dave Moore

Members of the selective Commodore Club drive bay area expansion with founder Dave Moore of the Greater Baytown Chamber of Commerce. Membership rose from 217 in 1964 to 672 in 1966 due to the club’s efforts and industry growth. Herbert and Tarry Hale direct the group which use jackets with crossed anchors and meet semimonthly to consider new members. Anyone with interest in the chamber and dues can join, not only businesspeople. The club presents its program at the weekly luncheon once a year and was officially recognized at a Banner in late 1966. Contact the chamber office or any Commodore for membership information.
