Pleasanton Chamber To Host Community Celebration

Press release from The Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce:

Oct. 9, 2021

The Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a celebratory, in-person, outdoor event that is open to everyone in the community. The event, fittingly named Pleasanton, Let’s Celebrate, will take place on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in Barone’s Backyard in downtown Pleasanton.

In honor of the Community Service Award recipients and the chamber’s 75th anniversary, the Pleasanton Chamber is hosting this community celebration with hors d'oeuvres, drinks and live music. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has canceled countless in-person events in the last 18 months, the chamber is looking forward to gathering for a festive, feel-good evening to honor good people doing great things in Pleasanton and recognize the milestone anniversary as well.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS

A great group of businesses, organizations and individuals had been chosen as the recipients for the Chamber’s 57th Annual Community Service Awards, originally set to take place in March of 2020. While the honorees were celebrated in print in the chamber’s November 2020 Business Connection newsletter, it was always the intention to recognize the honorees in person. The recipients have demonstrated excellence and community leadership in business, volunteer activities and achievement within the Pleasanton community.

The honorees for the 57th Annual Community Service Awards are:

Business Philanthropy UNCLE CREDIT UNION

Chevron Teacher Award JONATHAN GRANTHAM

Excellence in Business BUMBLEBEE MARKETING SERVICES

Excellence in Service SPECTRUM COMMUNITY SERVICES
