Thank you to those who joined us Saturday for the 100th Annual Arlington Business Gala. We were honored to see many members and friends commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. It was a great way to commence our celebration of this special year.

This was a celebration of the Chamber's 100th Anniversary featuring a video commemorating milestones in the history of the Chamber, a champagne toast, and a slide show of past Galas. The video and slide show can be watched on our website.


2024 Chamber Chair David Kinney emphasized the 100th anniversary by noting how the Arlington of 1924 was quite different from the Arlington of 2024, but the Chamber has evolved and grown to meet the needs of the business community.


Attendees enjoyed a three-course dinner, music by the Bachelor Boys, a 360 photo booth, and a lively game of Heads or Tails with Jim Wilmot of Arlington Community Federal Credit Union winning the Portable Bonfire. One lucky winner, John Snedden of ROCKLANDS Barbeque and Grilling Company, took home a two night weekend stay at the New Kent Ordinary in the Best of Raffle, donated by Jon Kinney and Erin Devine.


Continue the celebration:
