The Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel Chamber of Commerce (The Chamber) held their annual dinner, meeting and awards night “DRIVE to be the Best" this evening. As always the event was full of support, positive energy, laughs and community. The Chamber does an incredible job each year and we are lucky to have their support. Winners are determined by votes submitted by community members in fifty categories, and while you are informed if you placed “silver” or “gold” in a category ahead of time, you do not know what you have won until they announce it that evening.
We are pleased to say that land trusts and nonprofits came away with a lot of wins last night and we could not be more proud to be a part of both!
