T he Chamber kicked off the summer with our first big, in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Summer Annual Celebration. Hosted at the Mayo Civic Center, guests were able to enjoy delicious food, engaging speakers, and a chance to network. Being able to come together as a community during what has been a very difficult year for most was refreshing and exciting. The event inspired hope that as a community, we can get through anything and rebuild our economy together. Throughout the evening, guests were able to hear remarks from Chamber President Ryan Parsons, Board Chair Lizzy Haywood of People’s Food Cooperative, outgoing Chair Aaron Benike of Benike Construction, and incoming Chair Christy Blade of the Post Bulletin. Mark Lindquist was our feature keynote speaker of the night and did an incredible job bringing his energy and remarkable story-telling to Rochester. Mark has appeared in ABC’s LOST, CBS’ Hawaii Five-O, and is a world touring entertainer and an Air Force and Afghanistan War Veteran. With all his unique experiences, he was able to tell his story and inspire the audience.
