Luncheon celebrates workplace excellence

[APRIL 8, 2005]  Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce will present its 11th annual Office Professionals Luncheon on April 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus in Lincoln. Held in conjunction with National Administrative Professionals Week, the popular annual event is expected to attract administrative and support personnel, and their supervisors, representing many public and private businesses throughout Logan County.

Folk singer Mark Dvorak will provide entertainment during the luncheon. Following in the footsteps of Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly, Dvorak will use humor, participation and singalongs to take participants on a journey of past and present, laughter and tears. "Dvorak's concerts and recordings have been hailed as a refreshing portrait of the living folk tradition, and his performance comes across like a friendly conversation with neighbors," says Sing Out magazine.

Following the entertainment, the chamber's Technology Committee will again provide free breakout sessions on "Productivity through Technology."

Glenn Brunk Stationers will host an office products vendor fair, where manufacturers and retail businesses showcase their products and provide free samples to participants.

Greater Peoria Regional Airport will sponsor the grand door prize drawing of two round-trip airline tickets, Peoria to Las Vegas, on Allegiant Air. A three-station buffet luncheon will be catered by Guzzardo's Italian Villa.

Reservations for the luncheon will be limited to the first 300 registrants on a first-come, first-served basis. The fee of $15 for chamber members and $20 for nonmembers covers the price of the meal, the entertainment, free giveaways and door prizes, and the optional technology sessions.
