The Lynnwood Chamber of Commerce brought together elected officials and business and community leaders for its first-ever community service and leadership awards gala at the Lynnwood Event Center Friday evening.
“Imagine is our theme tonight,” said Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Frank Percival, who emceed the event. “Imagine a Lynnwood where all are welcome, and where everyone wants to be. We are blessed with this community so many who could imagine more, something greater, a future Lynnwood more sustainable, attainable and relatable. A Lynnwood with a seat at the table for everyone and where we celebrate our rich diversity while bonding over mutual goals.”
The keynote speaker was Snohomish County Boys and Girls Club Resources and Development Director Robert Cannon, who shared how he grew up in an unstable home but the Boys & Girls Club in Ballard saved his life by giving him community connections and support. And although he was hanging out with the “wrong crowd” as a teen, Cannon said that Boys & Girls Club staff members supported him and gave him jobs to do to keep him out of trouble. He has continued to work for the Boys & Girls Club throughout his career, including his current role in Snohomish County.
