Annual Dinner: Velvet and Vice

Description

The Shawnee Chamber Annual Dinner has returned! This year's theme - Velvet and Vice, presented by A.L. Huber Construction - will be a speakeasy and casino. This is the Shawnee Chamber's most elegant night of the year.

Dress to impress in your finest cocktail attire. Mingle with business and community leaders over cocktails (and mocktails) and a memorable dinner, then try your luck at the blackjack and roulette tables. Between the dim lighting, live entertainment, and a few well-kept secrets, every detail is designed to make the night feel like a hidden gem.

At the heart of the evening, we’ll also present the Heart of the Community Award, honoring an individual or organization whose generosity, leadership, and dedication have made a lasting difference in Shawnee.

Whether you come to celebrate our members, connect with fellow Chamber supporters, or simply enjoy an unforgettable evening out, Velvet and Vice promises to be a night to remember. Don’t miss your chance to be in on the secret.
