Chamber to honor Heroes in Our Community


NCIS star David McCallum to keynote event
The Military Affairs Committee of the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce has been busy readying for a record crowd at this year's Military Appreciation Dinner. Past dinner events have featured some very impressive speakers, but none have included a TV celebrity.

NCIS television series star, David McCallum, will be in Oxnard to be the keynote speaker at the Chamber's annual Military Appreciation Dinner on September 7. McCallum is a veteran actor. He became a household name when he starred in the 1960's TV drama, The Man from UNCLE. He is currently starring in the acclaimed CBS television series, NCIS as the Medical Examiner, Donald 'Ducky' Mallard. 

The Military Appreciation Dinner honors enlisted personnel from all the branches of the military. The honorees are selected by their commanding officers not only for their military service, but also for their service in the local community. "There are some very impressive awardees," said Committee Chair Ron VanDyck. "These are not only our country's heroes, but they are community heroes and volunteers as well."

The Military Appreciation Dinner will be held at the Residence Inn on Friday evening, September 7. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Invitations are scheduled to go out in early August. The Oxnard Chamber of Commerce values its relationship with our local military installations. "We sincerely appreciate the military's defense of our free enterprise system and recognize the positive impact the local installations have on our economy," added Chamber CEO Nancy Lindholm.
