As part of this annual celebration, MCUL will recognize those who have been instrumental in improving the lives of others through service and dedication to the community, and also pay tribute to corporate partnerships and emerging young leadership.
“This year, the honoree selection process has been both exciting and challenging,” said Brenda Walker McCain, President and CEO. “This area has seen so many individuals and businesses step up to the plate in such a hard economic climate, it was a difficult to select who all should be honored. But the night is not just to hand out awards; it’s to celebrate the accomplishments of our entire community.”
Bob Wills will serve as our Master of Ceremonies. Entertainment featured this year is provided by Louis Michael Jazz Combo featuring Charles Glenn. The event will also include a formal dinner and silent auction.
Doors will open at 5:30 PM with a cocktail reception and silent auction. Tickets for the Annual Dinner are $65 per person or $500 per table of eight. Sponsorships and advertisements in the souvenir booklet are available. For more information about the 34th Annual Dinner, or to purchase tickets, call (618) 463-1906, Ext. 6.
