gala CElEBration
To celebrate 100 years of business growth and
economic vitality in Highland Park, the Highland Park
Chamber of Commerce hosted a Centennial Gala
on Sunday, November 14, 2010 at the Highland Park
Community House. The evening highlighted Highland
Park’s business history and how the community has
grown into the appealing and energetic business
environment it is today. Guests enjoyed cocktails,
food stations, raffles and prizes. The Centennial
Gala also served as the Chamber’s Annual Meeting
to induct its new officers. A Chamber Awards
Presentation for Business Excellence honored
businesses for their commitment to the Chamber and
community in several categories, including: retail,
service, dining, nonprofit, entertainment and “still
missed, still loved.”
