Breakfast in the Valley: A Huge Success
The 21st Annual Breakfast in the Valley was a big success thanks to more than 80 sponsors and more than 300 volunteers. This year, we served 3,000 people from 5 to 10 a.m.! This event would not be possible without the Chamber members who volunteered to serve the breakfast and the Breakfast in the Valley committee that worked for several months to plan the breakfast.
A special thanks to the early risers who helped get the breakfast running whether it was making coffee, firing up the skillets, directing traffic or serving guests. We appreciate those that brought a whole team from their company. We hope it was a good team building event! We also want to thank those that came for the less exciting part of the day, clean up! Thanks to everyone for making the breakfast a great success. Save the date for the 22nd Annual Breakfast in the Valley on June 8, 2018.
Committee, Sponsors and Thank You
