: The Kelowna Chamber is preparing a celebratory dinner and silent auction to thank its many volunteers and formally welcome incoming Chair of the Board and President of the Chamber Derek Gratz to preside over the coming year for Chamber members on Wednesday April 30 at the Hotel Eldorado.
“This is our annual volunteer thank-you event for all our volunteers,” says George Greenwood, Chamber CEO. “Every level of volunteer will be recognized, including Chamber Ambassadors, Directors, and members of our committees.”
“As well, we will induct Former President Maryse Harvey into the Past Presidents Alumni and welcome our new Chair of the Board and President of the Chamber Derek Gratz,” Greenwood concluded.
The event, sponsored by Presidents Circle member Rogers Business, will feature a silent auction which helps offset the costs of the volunteer event. Donations may be offered at events@kelownachamber.org.
“I’m looking forward to this year’s Presidents Dinner,” said Derek Gratz. “It’s an annual opportunity to gather Past Presidents along with current and outgoing Directors and the business community to celebrate achievements and recognize our multiple volunteers.”
Tickets for the three-course dinner and auction are available online at www.kelownachamber.org. Tickets are $150 each, $110 for Chamber members. Welcome reception 5:45 p.m.; Opening remarks 7:00 p.m., followed by Awards and three-course dinner.
