Chamber Members Attend Luncheon to Learn about Spring Programs and Grow and Protect.
April Member Luncheon featured a Full House and Introduction to 'Grow and Protect'.
The April Member Luncheon took place on April 12th at Kokopelli Golf Course. Over 80 members took part in this month's luncheon to enjoy a great Italian meal provided by Kokopelli, celebrate Spring and to reconnect after COVID hybrid events and over-packed schedules. Board Chair Jared Garrison welcomed everyone, with an invocation by Pastor Roy Pepmiller from the First Church of God in Marion. The Orthopaedic Institute of Southern Illinois sponsored our luncheon and CEO Justin Harris and Kali Moe FNP-C spotlighted their services and the Healthy Bone Clinic. They also provided a door prize including a Healthy Bone clinic consult and a free DEXA Scan to measure bone mineral density.
Our main presentation featured Frank Mulcahy with Grow and Protect to present a new resource feature to our chamber members. Learn more below!
Members were also provided updates from the Membership, Legislative, and Marketing committees; the latest information about upcoming spring programs like Grad Spree on May 12th; and 2021 'Of the Year' Award Spotlights. Distinguished Business Award Nominee representatives present at the luncheon included: Marilyn Jones Stritzel & Allen Jones with Commercial Janitorial Services, AnnaMarie Cook & Josh Hatfield with Pepsi MidAmerica, and Gail Barger Lannom & Heather Goines with Priority Staffing Group. Distinguished Member Award Nominees at the luncheon included Julie Campbell, Janet Jensen, and Matt Reising.
Last but not least, Luck of the Draw Raffle participants had a chance to win $837. However the Lucky Ball was not drawn, so the pot will be up for grabs at the May 10th Luncheon. The May Luncheon will be at the Marion Cultural and Civic Center and feature Cierra Johnson of Fighting Cancer Today. Registration is available here.
