Veteran's Day Presentation
November 14 | 7:00 - 8:00 pm
As part of the History Center’s debut of the exhibit Returning From War, we are pleased to welcome Jim Hawkins, retired Navy Captain and former Commanding Officer of Naval Station Great Lakes, as he shares his experiences transitioning from the Armed Forces to the civilian workforce. Viewing the hiring process from the other side of the table, Jim will discuss ideas and perspectives that work to educate the public on support systems for attracting and hiring Veterans and military spouses.
The community is invited to attend this event. Registration is complimentary with a $10 suggested donation to support the History Center. REGISTER HERE.

Thank you to our guests from the community, local nonprofits and area fundraising organizations who attended our September Chamber Luncheon featuring special guest speaker, Donald Cooke, Vice President of The Alford Group. The post-pandemic world is full of challenges for the nonprofit sector and intense competition for resources. As we enter into the last quarter of the year, a particularly important time to inspire and generate support, we were thrilled to welcome Mr. Cooke, an expert in the field of philanthropy, to cover the topic for all of us.
A special thank you to our generous event sponsor:
For those who missed the event, we are pleased to share a video recording, courtesy of Bruce Himmelblau and Blue Sky Video Productions.
