This week’s newsletter is a little shorter than usual — we’re still riding the wave of last week’s 9th Annual Business Excellence Awards Gala. It was a truly special evening — a packed room with 180 attendees, a beautifully transformed Canyon Lodge, and a celebration that left many first-timers saying they were “blown away” by the energy and sense of community in the room.
One of the many standout moments of the night was Sergio Moreno of Breakfast Club receiving the Business of the Year award from Chamber President & CEO Brianna Goico and Chair-Elect Luan Mendel.
Returning emcee Jeremy Goico kept the night flowing with humor, heart, and stories that highlighted the businesses who generously contributed raffle prizes and helped make the evening unforgettable.
