2025 President's Dinner & Cornerstone Awards

161st Annual President's Dinner & Cornerstone Awards
Thursday, May 8th, 2025 · 5:30 - 11:00 pm
Ramada By Wyndham, Belleville

Last year, we hosted an unforgettable birthday bash to mark the Chamber's 160th anniversary.  We are excited to, once again, honor the recipients for the 2025 Cornerstone Awards across categories including Citizenship, Founder, Mentor, Visionary and Lifetime Achievement.

This year, we are adding some enchantment to the evening.  Guests are encouraged to indulge in our welcome reception upon their arrival, featuring prosecco, delectable hors d'oeuvres, vibrant music, and ample networking opportunities. Capture the fun moments with Jeff and Deb from Japan Camera at our photo booth, where souvenir pictures await each guest. Mingle and enjoy our diverse and tasty food stations, open from 6:30pm.  Rest assured, we'll cater to any dietary requirements you have, just let us know when registering.  Assigned seating ensures everyone has a spot to enjoy the scrumptious food from Occasions By The Bay, and settle in for dessert while watching the presentations.  

Ramada by Wyndham is extending a special $89 room rate for the evening, making it convenient for guests to "ride the elevator" home after the festivities. Call Dani at 613-968-3411 Ext. 493 to book your room. Can't Stay! No worries - you can still get a "Safe Ride Home".

What should I wear?  We are 'Disney-Bound', but this isn’t a costume party! Look to Disney characters for inspiration, but use things you can find easily in your closet or home.‘Disney-bound’ outfits are optional, but the magic of the night is not!  Still not sure?   Click here for more information on how to create your own look, and as always, the theme is optional.  The important magic happens with your presence and support.

We have tables accommodating groups of 4 or 8, so feel free to join us with friends, and colleagues. Don't worry if you are on your own.  We'll ensure that you're seated with engaging table companions.
