Description

Thanksgiving is an ideal occasion to join to give thanks for our bountiful blessings. One of the longstanding traditions in our community is the Annual Community Thanksgiving Luncheon where we reach out in true gratitude and friendship. 

We invite you and your colleagues to join us on Tuesday, November 21 for our 42nd Annual luncheon to reaffirm our combined commitment to family, neighbors, and community.  Our program will weave "thanks" and "giving" through storytelling and we do hope that you are able to join us as we begin the holiday season through this longstanding tradition. 

We will also sing the praises of five unsung heroes in our community. These special volunteers are the very fabric of our community, providing guidance and leadership to organizations in Elgin and South Elgin. Local service clubs and non-profit organizations will also be recognized at this non-denominational luncheon as they provide critical programs and services to our neighbors.

Award-winning volunteers, whom local non-profit agencies nominated, will be recognized for their achievements by the group's Enhancing Elgin committee and are listed above on the invitation..

The Community Thanksgiving Luncheon will feature a networking reception from 11:30 to noon followed by a holiday buffet luncheon and program until 1 PM.  Table centerpieces will be provided by School District U-46 students. The day's program will be emceed by Elgin Area Chamber Board Chair Yaneth Medina and President Carol Gieske.  

We will give much-deserved thanks to those who have gone above and beyond for our non-profit community.  

Thank you to our sponsor for the event, Elgin Community College.
