Dear Chamber Members,


The countdown is on! Our Annual Grove Area Chamber of Commerce Awards Gala, presented by Indigo Sky Casino, is just one week away, and we are looking forward to one of the most exciting evenings of the year.


This special event is our opportunity to celebrate the outstanding businesses, organizations, and individuals who continue to make the Grove and Grand Lake region a great place to live, work, and do business. Congratulations to all this year's award finalists! Your dedication, leadership, and commitment to our communities have made a lasting impact, and we are honored to recognize your achievements.


We are also excited to celebrate what has been a record-breaking year for the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to the support of our members, investors, volunteers, and community partners, we will gather with more than 200 Chamber members, investors, business partners, and friends for an evening of recognition, networking, and celebration.


If you haven't purchased your tickets yet, don't wait! Seating is limited, and we expect this year's Gala to sell out. If you plan to stay overnight at Indigo Sky Casino following the Gala, be sure to make your hotel reservation by phone and mention the code Grove26 to receive the special Chamber rate.


Thank you for being part of another incredible year at the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce. We look forward to celebrating with you next week as we recognize excellence, honor achievement, and toast the continued success of our Chamber and the Grand Lake region.


We can't wait to see you there!


Sincerely,

~ Amanda
