1/16/2011 | From Gail
| Good morning, All items being donated for the silent auction need to be here at the Chamber by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow in order to be listed in the program. We’re also doing the table assignments so if you want to sit with specific people at specific tables, we need to know that by tomorrow too please. We’re going to have a fun wine raffle at the event – can you donate a bottle of wine (preferably $20 value). If so, please drop it off at the Chamber. It really helps us out if you can drop all your offerings off instead of asking us to pick up items. We just have so much to do this week that we’re under the gun to get it all done! Thank goodness for my wonderful staff, Dorothy, Cindy and Marci AND Sharon Showalter, our volunteer! And everyone else who is pitching in! We do need help this week and on Saturday – decorating and setting up the silent auction tables so if you have time, call or email and let us know. Thank you! | | January 22 Installation & Community Stars Dinner | Please help us honor the 2010 Community Stars at our annual dinner on Saturday, January 22, at the Park Ridge Country Club. Congratulations to the following Community Stars: · Amphora: Debi Spellman and Diane Annes · Jim Bruno, Park Ridge Indian Scouts Federation, Holiday Lights Coalition · ELF: District 64, Elementary Learning Foundation · Betsy Foxwell, Kalo Foundation of Park Ridge · Mike McGrath, City of Park Ridge Public Works · Andrew Terenzio, Maine South High School Student · Barbara Tyksinski, All on the Road Catering & Bakery The first ever Park Ridge Lifetime Achievement Award will also be presented to Millie O’Brien.
