At the dinner portion of the event, the Chamber with sponsorship from Woodland's Credit Union, will salute ‘White Mountains Treasures' who have made significant contributions to the Mt. Washington Valley. This years recipients of the ‘White Mountains Treasure's Award' are Bernadine ‘Benny' Jesseman and Bobbi Steele-Marotta. The MWVEC will present their ‘Bob Morrell Award,' established in honor of the late Bob Morrell, to Terry O'Brien of the Red Parka Steakhouse & Pub in addition to announcing the recipients of their ‘Board Member of the Year' and ‘Volunteer of the Year' awards.
