n August 11, the Destin Area Chamber invited members and guests to Lulu’s 
Destin for Breakfast on the Bay sponsored by Destin Commons. It was an action-
packed event, including a big announcement from the Okaloosa County School 
District that will lead to the creation of a Destin High School.  There was a briefi ng 

from Florida Rep. Mel Ponder, and a visit from VISIT FLORIDA President and CEO, Ken 
Lawson. 

New members and businesses joining the Chamber also had a chance to introduce themselves 

and provide the audience with a sneak peek of their respective goods and services. Some guests 
who submitted their business cards for the drawing also won door prizes. The event was attended 
by almost 130 Chamber members.
