Welcome to the Chamber blog!
Give me some feedback - do you like getting your news this way? Or do you prefer it in an email like I've been doing?
Our big push right now is for the annual dinner on Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Park Ridge Country Club. Not only would we appreciate your rsvp cards, (with payment) but we need raffle prizes and silent auction items. Stuff from your business would be great!
We're honoring 9 wonderful 2011 Park Ridge Community Stars and a Lifetime Achievement Awardee!
And we're installing our new board! The mayor will do the swearing in ceremony.
It will be a star-studded night so please come out for it!
