First Adel Chamber Annual Dinner a Huge Success!
Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce:
Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce hosted the first ever Chamber Annual Dinner and Awards Night on Tuesday, March 24.
The event was held at Park Place in Adel and over 125 people attended.
The members of the planning committee worked hard to plan a memorable evening that both celebrated the Chamber’s recent successes and offered an opportunity for new and prospective members to get acquainted with the Chamber and our members.
Many thanks to Rob Burditt with Brick Street Financial, Peg Chapman with Eric Schepers State Farm, Tammy Howe with Adel & Winterset TV & Appliance, and Dan Juffer with Horizon Printing. The event sponsors donated generously to help cover the costs of the event.
This year’s sponsors were Eric Schepers State Farm Insurance, Lincoln Savings Bank, Peoples Trust & Savings Bank, Raccoon Valley Bank, River Valley Insurance, and Russell Abstract & Title. Several businesses donated their time, services, and products for the event, including Fareway, Harvey Floral Company, Horizon Printing, Iowa Beverage Systems, and Raccoon Valley Radio.
These local partners made it possible for the Chamber to make the first Annual Dinner a wonderful experience and something to look forward for next year. One of the highlights of the evening was speaker Chuck Offenburger. Chuck spoke about his experiences writing about small towns throughout Iowa over the past 50 years and encouraged the Adel business community to work together toward continued success.
The evening concluded with the Annual Chamber Awards. Adel is a growing and thriving community in large part because of our great local businesses and strong base of volunteers. The awards provide an opportunity to honor a few of those businesses and individuals. Rich Hughes was named the 2014 Volunteer of the Year for his years of organizing the corn tent during the Sweet Corn Festival. Rich loyally helps out behind the scenes and is well-deserving of this award.
The Business Improvement Award was given to Adel Family Dentistry for their investment in the Adel community and continued growth.
Adel & Winterset TV & Appliance was named the 2014 Business of the Year in recognition of their substantial history of success and positive impact on the community. As one of Adel’s oldest businesses, they continually go above and beyond to meet the needs of their customers. Since opening in 1960, the business has continually grown and expanded over the past 55 years. The Chapman family is well-known in Adel for their contributions to the community.
