POST FALLS CHAMBER: Celebrating our local business leaders
This is such a special time of year! Friends and family are all cozied up, enjoying the last days of winter…hopefully…and we as a community get to celebrate some amazing stories at our Recognition Reception. Every year a group of previous winners have the painstaking job of sifting through nominations to select this year’s winners. For the first time in a long time, we had an overwhelming number of nominations — 38 in total. What a beautiful problem to have. This means that at a minimum, we had 38 citizens who felt compelled to share the story of how a local business or individual made an impact on our community. That makes my heart sing. We have such a caring community and this outpouring proves it.
