Welcome Banner Thank You
On behalf of the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce’s Young Professionals group, we would like to thank the following who have contributed to the design, selection, and purchase of the Community Welcome Banners; the Corporate sponsors, Grand Island Community Foundation, Chamber/Nebraska State Fair Can-Do Committee (Community Awareness Chaired by Alison Larson).
The Young Professionals group appreciates the opportunity to be involved with the first Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island. The Community Welcome Banner project gave us a chance to learn about fundraising from the Community Foundation and experience success, which resulted in the Community Foundation challenge gift.
We think Grand Island is the best place to work, live, and play and hope visitors to our community feel the same!
