Annual Dinner

The Annual Dinner has historically been held once a year in February and has averaged over 200 guests for the last few years. This event is intended to celebrate the past years successes and recognize outstanding members & businesses that contribute to the organization & community.  

This year 188 guests attended and enjoyed Casino night and our Annual Dinner & Award Ceremony at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center Saturday, February 27, 2010. 

With play tokens in hand, many guests threw caution to the wind to test their luck at Texas Hold’Em, Black Jack, Craps, and a few other games of chance, while others mingled and relaxed amid the background sound of Crosby, Sinatra and other favorites.

 

Our MC for the evening Kyle Snyder, did a wonderful job guiding us through our program, and chamber President Les Meyer delivered an uplifting, inspirational talk highlighting the importance of tenacity, drive, and forging on through tough times as a cohesive community.
