GRCC Presents "A Vale

This year’s Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) Annual Dinner was A Valentine’s Soiree, offering an elegant evening of dining, dancing, and the exciting presentation of the 2022 Business of the Year and individual awards that are announced each year. The Businesses of the Year winners are presented in three categories: organizations with 5 employees or less, organizations with up to 25 employees, and organizations with over 25 employees. The individual awards include Ambassador of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Citizen of the Year, and a Shining Star. The judging process for this year’s awards were expertly handled by SCORE, an independent agency who conducted a detailed application and interviewing process of the applicants for this past year.

The emcee for the much-anticipated event was Jackie Barron, Public Affairs Manager for The Mosaic Company, who led the festivities throughout the evening. Current Board Chair Tammy See of OEL Heating and Cooling chose the evening’s theme, a Valentine Soiree, which was held at The Regent in Riverview. The grand ballroom was beautifully decorated by Craig Beckinger, An ABC Event, along with many GRCC members who decorated their tables to participate in the decorating contest. Winners of the contest included 3rd place winner, OEL Heating & Cooling; 2nd place winner Four Paws Veterinary Hospital; and the 1st place winner, the table of Heather Michael – Crissy’s Hair Salon and T & J Painting, decorated by Bill Andrew of Presbyterian Church of Bloomingdale. Music and audio/visual for the evening was provided by Ian Davis of IDVES Audio Visual Solutions.
