The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce will welcome and honor its 2014-2015 directors June 26th at the annual installation celebration. The 60th dinner event will take place at the JW Marriott Desert Springs starting at 6:00PM. The theme for the evening is “A Night of Stars” – Recognizing our community leaders and volunteers. Cocktail attire required. The evening will begin at 6:00 PM with cocktails and appetizers along with the opening of the famous silent auction filled with overnight stays, golf, art, spa packages and other treasures. Then, guests will welcome new directors, honor retiring ones and applaud 2014 award winners during dinner.
For this grand milestone, we also invite other local businesses or nonprofits that are celebrating 60 years to contact the chamber for reservations so that we may recognize you as well. Contact Katie Stice directly for your reservations.
