You’ll be receiving your invitation soon for the annual dinner at the Park Ridge Country Club when the 2011 Chamber Board of Directors is installed and all the Park Ridge Community Stars are honored. So, mark your calendars for Saturday, January 22. Silent auction items are being accepted now! It will be a glamorous and fun event so please plan to attend. We’d love to sell every table!
The Chamber board meets tomorrow and will approve of the last new members for the year, closing the year with 438 members total! Another record high! Thank you for being a member and thank you for renewing.
You can pay your renewal dues online at our website using Paypal.
Please get your nomination in for the Park Ridge Community Star awards. They will be selected by our very elite group of Chamber past presidents. Deadline is today please.
A big thank you to Rich Callahan from Outback Steakhouse who hosted our luncheon last week. We had a total of 68! The meal was fabulous and everyone was festive and merry!
Thank you for all the raffle prizes that were donated. We played Chamber networking Bingo and had a blast! We also got a new member, Bridget Jones, Junior Achievement, who joined on the spot when her name was pulled for the cover of the Chamber newsletter Spotlight and was told that only Chamber members could win the Spotlight!
The Chamber’s last Business After Hours for the whole year was last Thursday at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, 31 S. Northwest Hwy.
Thank you to Linda Hills for hosting us – Houlihan’s for the appetizers. Sheila Duda, TeaLula, and Lisa Ross and LuAnne McNaughton from Lisa’s Italian Ice were also there with goodies. It was a fun and festive affair for the many who braved the cold to come out and network – and eat lots of chocolate!
