“The Community Appreciation Dinner and Awards Ceremony is a chance to thank and honor those businesses, organizations, committees, and individuals, who work so diligently throughout the year. Without the dedication, drive, and true spirit of volunteerism and the commitment of the businesses and organizations within the area so many initiatives, events, improvements, and projects would not be possible. A big thank you to our amazing volunteers for assisting with coordination of this event, the Knights of Columbus/Knights Catering Hall for being our hosts, and to all of those who will sponsor this event. We would also like to thank our Board & Ambassadors for all their assistance” stated Erin Mullen, Member Service & Event Manager, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

In 2023, awards were given to businesses, organizations, committees, and individuals, who not only support the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, but give of themselves for the betterment of the Ticonderoga Area and the community.
