FIRST FINANCIAL BANK
The Mena/Polk County Chamber of Commerce held its Annual Membership Appreciation Banquet, on April 23rd, at the UARM Ouachita Center. The theme of this years banquet was Masquerade at the Comedy Club. Comedian Byron Trimble provided the evenings entertainment with his unique blend of humor and music, while Papa’s Mexican Cafe catered the meal and delivered a delicious dinner for all. The Mena/Polk County Chamber of Commerce would like to give specials thanks to the organizations that served the evenings meal. The Acorn NHS, Acorn FCCLA, Polk County 4-H, Mena Tennis, and Mena Soccer all helped to create a very successful event. And we couldn’t be more proud of Mena Middle School EAST for their incredible presentation. To all the Chamber businesses that donated to the auctions and Auctioneer, Allen Stewart, we appreciate your generosity. For lighting up the evening, a thank you goes to 385 Events. And for focusing on the event and capturing the memories, our hats are off to Whitley Lind Photography. Thank you to the staff at The Ouachita Center and the Christian Motorcyclists Association for all your help and to Closet 821 for being such generous supporters. To our amazing board of directors, volunteers, and to all our members and guests in attendance, we are honored to work with and for all of you. Each year, awards are voted on and given to recipients for recognition in five categories. This years award winners are:
