Burlington’s blooming!  join the fun and honor this year’s award winners at the april 19 dinner

What a festive event the 29th Annual Dinner will be.  Burlington is blooming in the spring, and the Wyndham ballroom will be too, thanks to the support of our two decorations sponsors, Select Design and Green Mountain Concert Services.

The Wyndham’s chef is preparing a fabulous meal for us, with delicious hors d’oeuvres and  dinner featuring a dual entrée of top sirloin and seared salmon, and a delectable amaretto torte for dessert.

We’re pleased to announce the winners of BBA’s 2007 Awards that will be presented at the April 19 Dinner at the Wyndham. 

Joseph L. Boutin (left), is the winner of the Nathan Harris Award. Joe is well known in Burlington as a community leader and volunteer. After a distinguished career in the banking industry he has recently retired as president of

the Merchants Bank.

Lake Champlain Chocolates, founded by Jim Lampman (above) has satisfied the national sweet tooth with mouth watering confections made with a special touch in Vermont.  LCC is the winner of this year’s Burlington Business Award.

The Burlington International Airport  (left) is being recognized for architectural excellence with the Hertzel Pasackow Award. The recent expansion was designed by Freeman French Freeman.

The auction is BBA’s major fundraiser each year, and your support is appreciated.  The Silent Auction will showcase over 80 products and services of BBA members, and by popular demand we will again have a “Live Auction” during dinner.  Have you dreamed of vacationing at a beach house in the Caribbean? Or at a resort in Spain within view of the Mediterranean?  Your dreams could come true if you’re the high bidder!  Check the BBA website the week before the dinner for all the auction details: www.BurlingtonBusinessAssociation.com
