The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, Monday, announced the deadline to file nominations for the annual “Angels of Christmas” award has been extended to this Friday, Nov. 21st. Nominations may be submitted hard copy to the chamber at 102 Chestnut Street or via email chamber@atlanticiowa.com.

The Angels of Christmas is a tradition in Atlantic that allows for the recognition and thanking of area residents who symbolize the true meaning of the season. Angels exemplify the true holiday spirit all year long and putting others first, spreading generosity and sharing the holiday spirit with everyone they meet.

This year, the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce and Cass County Health System (CCHS) will honor an Angel of Christmas at our local Holiday Concert on Sunday, December 7th.  The honored Angels of Christmas will receive a gift of AtlanticCash and an angel figurine in appreciation for their spirit of giving and serving others.  CCHS CEO Todd Hudspeth says “We are very pleased to sponsor the Angels of Christmas award this year.  As a healthcare provider, we have many opportunities to see the generous nature of our community all year long.  It’s our privilege to assist in recognizing individuals who truly carry the angel spirit with them every day.”
