Community Recognition LuncheonThe Oak Park Business & Education Alliance holds its annual Community Recognition Luncheon in the spring of each year as our only event fundraiser. This year’s meeting took place on April 30, 2008 at Plum Hollow Country Club. Each year an individual and a company/organization is chosen by an OPBEA committee to be honored based on their leadership role and devotion to our community. Honorees are presented with a Tribute Journal at the luncheon. This is one of our most popular events and seating for this event can fill up. There are options to attend the luncheon and/or participate by contributing to the Tribute Journal. Congratulations to the 2008 Honorees:Grace Gilchrist, Retired General Manager of WXYZ, Channel 7 and Staples Business Advantage. A special thanks to our Master of Ceremonies Chuck Stokes.
