The festivities will begin at 11:00 am with many fun vendor exhibits sharing small gifts. The lunch will be served starting at 12:00 noon. The event is full of great door prizes and giveaways. Businesses can reward staff with a great lunch, while they hear an amusing message from this year&amp;#39;s speaker, Gina Trimarco. Her topic will be, &lt;em&gt;Oh Yes You Can!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Administrative Day Luncheon has been a favorite with area businesses and office managers to honor administrative professionals by treating them to a fun extended lunch event and an entertaining program in recognition of their contributions throughout the year.&amp;nbsp; There are more than 4.1 million administrative assistants in the United States making it one of the largest workplace observances outside of employee birthdays and major holidays.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Michael Miller, Florence Chamber President, says, &amp;ldquo;this is a great opportunity for those that really keep the businesses going, to hear a fun speaker, enjoy a lunch together and win great gifts. Who doesn&amp;rsquo;t want to do that&amp;rdquo;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More than a dozen business vendors will be at the event sharing giveaways and displaying their products and services.&amp;nbsp; Tickets are $30 for Chamber members and $40 for non-members. Reserved tables are also available. Register online at www.flochamber.com.&lt;/p&gt;
