"This was my first time attending the Awards Dinner, and I'm glad I came! I not only had a great time, but I made some great business connections. The Committee did a great job planning the evening"

Steve Hermansson, Castle Bank

 

The Awards Dinner Dance is one of the Chamber's Annual Events in which Chamber Members are recognized for their contributions to the Community and the Chamber. It is also a great introduction to the New Program of Work.
