Chamber's Annual Dinner Awards & Marketplace of Ideas
 The Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner is the forum for publicly recognizing and honoring citizens who have made, by their selfless service, contributions for the betterment of our area communities; contributions that have made Plymouth a better place to live, work and raise a family. The date by which the nominations are to be submitted to the Chamber, 120 N. Michigan St., is March 31, 2006.
These honors may be given to people who qualify through lifetime achievement or extraordinary contributions in the past year. A five-person committee, separate from the Chamber, will select the Distinguished Citizen based on the nominations turned into the committee. The Distinguished Citizen award will also mean $500.00 from the Chamber to be donated in their name to a charity of the winner's choice. Each award recipient will receive a plaque and another plaque will be located at the Chamber office with award winners' names posted.
Nomination forms are available at the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce, Bookworm, Inc., Martin's Super Market, Sears, Treat's Squire Shop and Wild Birds Unlimited or the form here. Awards will be announced at the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner, date and location to be announced. The community is invited to attend.
This year's Annual Dinner will add an event initiated during a general meeting this past November. The Marketplace of Ideas is being offered to Chamber member businesses. Ten display tables will be available for member businesses to showcase their business and speak with other members, to answer any questions or explain products and / or services.
The Marketplace of Ideas is slated to take place during the social hour preceding dinner. This opportunity lends itself to both the 'vendor' and those who have not had the chance to visit the represented Chamber member business...learning more about other Chamber member businesses.
We do understand that without a date and place, it is difficult to plan, but if you are interested in participating, please let us know. We will keep our call list in the order received and as soon as the date and place is set, we will call from the list to see if the date is do-able for you. We will call until we have the ten participating vendors.
There is a $10 display table fee.
The top award will be for Distinguished Citizen.
