Chamber takes to the channel for weekly luncheon May 12

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce will be taking its food to go at its May 12 weekly Luncheon.

Chamber members and other attendees will be eating on a catamaran cruise of the downtown and Douglas harbors to see where the city stands on various maritime construction projects, such as the 16B cruise ship dock and Whale Park.

Port Director Carl Uchytil will narrate the harbor tour with City Manager Rorie Watt. The tour will depart from the Marine Park Lightering Dock at noon, and it will finish at the same place an hour later.

Tickets cost $35 per person and includes boxed lunches. To register, visit the chamber’s website juneauchamber.com.
