The Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce wishes to thank all who attended, sponsored, and volunteered at the Annual Membership Dinner on February 20th at the beautiful Whitetail Ridge Golf Club. Dynamic networking stands out as a key feature of the event, with 160 representatives from the local business community participating. Guests donned their most mysterious masks for this masquerade-themed event, posing on the red carpet for photos. They also savored appetizers while enjoying the acoustic stylings of Brian Weber from Brian Weber Music.

Following an address by Mayor John Purcell, the annual meeting program, treasurer’s report, and membership awards were presented by YACC Board Chair, Heather Johnson, YACC Treasurer, Sarah Allen, and YACC President/CEO Renee Kryger. During the program, a service award was presented to Phil Nelson in recognition of his outstanding leadership and service as a Director of YACC. Throughout the evening a photo retrospective slide show recapped images from the past year’s events.
