The 89th Annual Meeting & Awards Banquet took place on Thursday, September 11, 2008 at The Ginger Rogers Craterian Theater in Medford. Attendance increased 30% during last year’s gala event, making the theater venue a desirable location to continue this popular evening.
For almost a century, our community leaders that come together to recognize the talents and achievements of prominent companies and outstanding individuals who have not only progressed in business, but have succeeded in setting a great example of community involvement, and in the process have become leading advocates in our community.
Awards delivered during this formal event included the Future First Citizen Scholarship Award presented by Umpqua Bank, New Member of the Year and Member of the Year, Retailer of the Year, Business Excellence, Outstanding Corporate Citizen in non-profit and for-profit categories, and First Citizen.
The black tie optional affair began with a social, dining, and new this year, complimentary wine tasting beginning at 5 p.m. from Agate Ridge Vineyard, Corks Wine Bar and Bottle Shoppe, RoxyAnn Winery, Valley View Winery and Weisinger’s Winery.
Seating was available both in Vogel Plaza as well as in the theater lobby area. Delectable selections of popular menu items were prepared by Confident Caterers, Jacksonville Inn, Quality Catering and Soup to Nuts until 6:30pm. All catering stations strategically placed in different corners lined the perimeter of the plaza to decrease congestion around food lines.
Portable bars were present in the plaza as well as in the theater lobby. Assorted soda, beer, water and coffee were served. Glasses of wine were offered for purchase at the winery tables in the plaza only. Prior to attendees being ushered into the theater to take their assigned seats in time for the awards program to begin promptly at 7pm, guests had the opportunity to indulge in assorted toffees provided by Cary’s of Oregon and chocolate truffles provided by Harry & David.
