Saline Chamber to Host Awards Dinner

The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce (SACC) will recognize exceptional businesses in the area next week.

SACC will present the 2012 Business Enterprise Award on Thursday, October 11 at Stonebridge Golf Club. The event will be held at 6 p.m., and is open to anyone who would like to attend.

According to a press release, “The Chamber’s Business Enterprise Award is widely recognized as the most meaningful and prestigious honor a business can receive in the greater Saline Market."

"The event is to honor businesses in the community,” said SACC Director Art Trapp. “The businesses also receive a proclamation from the city, state and county.”

Each year, the chamber presents awards for two businesses, one with under 20 employees and the other with over 21 employees. This year’s winners are Stonebridge Golf Club and Iott Insurance.

Businesses, which can only win the award once, are each presented with a Traveling Business Enterprise Cup, a trophy engraved with winning names.

“Their businesses name is engraved too, and they get to keep it all year,” said SACC Project Coordinator Mary Alice Smith.

Trapp said businesses are chosen based on their contributions to the community including volunteer work and sponsorships. “They are very active in the community,” he said.

Stonebridge Golf Club is located at 1825 Clubhouse River Dr. in Pittsfield Township.
