PPAChicago Celebrates 60 Years in Style!
November 8
th
PPAChicago was able to celebrate its 60 amazing years supporting the Promotional Products Industry of Illinois and the Chicagoland area with the 60
th
Anniversary Gala.
So much more than a holiday party, PPAChicago threw out all the stops to make this milestone memorable.
Adorned with our best ballroom style glamour we were able to enjoy hors d'oeuvres, dinner, cocktails, live music and conversation with local and national industry leaders at the Meson Sabika in Naperville.
It was an honor to have Paul Bellantone and Mary Jo Tomasini speak on behalf of PPAI. We also celebrated the past presidencies of Kamil Dys, Nancy McCue, Dona Blunt, Pat Drinkwine and Brian Hiner and outgoing 2017 board members Melissa Kopf and Tom Moriarty. And as with every annual party we recognized Dona Blunt as Volunteer of the Year and Mitch Silver as the PPAChicago Education Scholarship Recipient.
As we close 2017 we look forward to 2018 and our new board members;
Lisa Greyhill (Greyhill & Associates), Mason Linn (Raining Rose) Sharon Trube (Concord) and 2018 RAC Delegate; Jessica Gibbons-Rauch (Club Colors) and the next 60 years!
(Incoming 2018 RAC Delegate; Jessica Gibbons Rausch, Board Directors; Lisa Greyhill, Mason Linn, Sharon Trube, Ben Turry; Secretary; Dawn Ruler, Vice President; Jason Emery, Treasurer; Matt Staff; Director Ben Prasad, President; Colleen Krause)
