It’s that time of year to reflect on the many local businesses and people who enhance the quality of life in the community.
“We are grateful for the people and businesses that do so much to make our community successful,” said Kelly Schreiber, executive director of the Stayton-Sublimity Chamber of Commerce. “We are seeking nominations for our annual Awards Celebration. Last year’s event was a tremendous success, and the chamber is looking forward to making this year even better!”
SSCOC’s Awards Celebration will be a luncheon Feb. 18 at Foothills Church in Stayton. Nominations are due by Dec. 4.
Categories are the Chamber Award of Excellence for a large business of 15 or more employees and a small business of less than 15 employees. Each seeks to honor businesses that go above and beyond to contribute to the region’s economic vitality.
The First Impressions Award is designed to honor a business or organization that presents a beautiful and inviting frontage. The Distinguished Service Award goes to a person who has shown dedication to his/her community through service.
“The chamber of commerce believes that celebration is an essential part of a thriving community,” said Janine Moothart, development and marketing director for Regis High School and a member of SSCOC’s selection committee. “The community members join together to recognize and thank those who make a difference through leadership and service.”
Schreiber said this is a “community filled with doers, helpers and dreamers.These businesses, organizations and people bring vibrancy to our cities. Our communities would not be the wonderful place they are without them.”
