Italian food catered by Benny’s of Alvarado included lasagna, tortellini and baked ziti.

                                                          The Chamber’s purpose is to improve Alvarado’s overall business climate and quality of life through sponsorships of programs that promote, facilitate and stimulate economic growth, civic participation and business advocacy.  Alvarado’s Chamber is led by its board of directors which is president Jason Reynolds, vice president Steve Garcia, treasurer Clint Davis, secretary Leanna Cowan and board members Jerry Pritchard, Tammie Lile, John Percifield and Rocky Biggs.
