Best of Plant City Awards + Passing of The Gavel = 2019 Chamber Gala
|
Members:
Please save the date for Thursday, January 24, 2019! We will be combining our annual Passing of The Gavel event with the 2019 Best of Plant City Awards and hosting one fantastic night of Chamber networking, celebration, and community building.
The Passing of the Gavel is the annual event where we welcome our new Board of Directors for the coming year and thank the Board who served the Chamber the year prior. This event is always held at the end of January. The Best of Plant City Awards are a new awards ceremony we created last year to recognize businesses and individuals in our community who go above and beyond to make Plant City the best place to live, work, and play.
Starting this year, we will be combining these two great Chamber events into one Annual Chamber Gala and celebrating our Board and Chamber members all in one night! Please save the date for January 24th and join us as ring in the new year. Nominations for the 2019 Best of Plant City Awards are now being accepted, please visit
BestOfPlantCity.com
to nominate a business or individual & for more event information on the new Annual Chamber Gala.
Make it a great December!
Christine
