On Tuesday, September 18th, the Siren Chamber of Commerce will be holding their Annual Awards Dinner at Northwoods Crossing Event Center. All are invited as Jake Mangelsen, Tesora Restaurant, and Bryn Anderson will be honored as Siren's 2018 Citizen, Business, and Chamber Volunteer of the Year.
The 2018 Citizen of the Year is a very well-deserving Siren native, Jake Mangelsen. Jake is always willing to help whether for an organization or for personal benefit or need. “Jake does these selfless acts not for the notoriety, but for the love he has for helping people and the community. We are very lucky that Jake made his home town his family's home and gives back to Siren. We are all better off knowing Jake Mangelsen”.
'A Siren Chamber business with significant community service' is the criteria for the Business of the Year. The 2018 award winner, Tesora, exemplifies this criteria. "This business gives so much to the community, serving us all with great facility space, delicious food and exceptional customer service. Jake and Holly and their employees always have a smile, a kind word and a helping hand ... Wedding Fair, Taste of Siren, Street Dance backup location, new 100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett meeting location, and so much more!"
Chamber Volunteer of the Year is an award earned for 'substantial volunteer service.' Bryn Anderson, Siren School Band Director, is this year's winner. "For more than 23 years, Bryn has supported the Siren Royalty Pageant, working with each participant on their talent choice. She was the catalyst behind Siren's Music in the Park program - now in its 10th season! Bryn has a willingness to give back to our community and the Siren School - involved with all school plays and any musical events, the great summer band trips, etc. She has received several awards and recognition for her educational achievements and is a true asset to our students and our community."
The Annual Awards Dinner will begin with a social hour from 5:00 to 6:00 pm, followed by dinner served at 6:00 pm. The evening's program will take place from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. The program will consist of an introduction of Miss Siren 2018, Karlee Sybers, followed by a brief 2018-19 Chamber review; Citizen, Business, and Chamber Volunteer award presentations plus 11 business/organization anniversary recognitions; and conclude with introduction of newly-elected Siren Chamber Board Directors.
