Awards on agenda for chamber luncheon

Chamber of commerce members will award the “Achiever of the Year” and the “Business of the Year” at a special noon luncheon March 10, scheduled at the Moose Lodge.

The awards will be decided from a vote of Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce members. A special ballot went out to chamber membership earlier this week.

Five people have been nominated for “Achiever of the Year.” They are Debbie Bigelow, Birdie Hensley, Kerry Higgins, Scott Hunter and Jerry Sands.

Those nominated for “Business of the Year” are Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union, Coulee Hardware, Coulee Medical Center, Coulee Playland Resort and Loepp Furniture.

Last year’s winners were: Peggy Nevsimal as “Achiever of the Year” and Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union as “Business of the Year.”

The winning recipients receive special plaques.

Two new chamber board members, also being voted on, will be introduced at the meeting.
