Wheaton & Kensington Chamber of Commerce
38th Annual Community Awards Event ~ Virtual
was on
Wednesday, June 29, 2022 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm
Out of caution, the pandemic caused us to revise our normal Awards Banquet for a third year. We again moved the Annual Community Awards online and gave out the awards and thankied our sponsors virtually this year on the Zoom platform - in partnership with InterAct Story Theatre / Home of the Wheaton Family Theatre.
We celebrated the connection and goodwill between citizens, businesses, and public safety workers in the area community. We gave thanks to those receiving these well-deserved annual awards.
We also recognized Mid-County Community Heroes, and the individuals and groups making a difference in our community!
In recognition of their great service in providing a higher level and enhanced care beyond that of a traditional assisted senior living community. Residents can participate in a variety of programs also offered to the public, including cooking classes and lectures. Kensington Park hosts numerous fundraisers and food drives, and is a wonderful supporter of the Chamber.
