The Claremore Chamber’s Leading Ladies Gala, presented by Hillcrest Hospital Claremore, is scheduled for Wednesday, October 5, at Rogers State University.
Recognizing Claremore women will be the focus of the upcoming Leading Ladies Gala, as well as learning some tips about work/life balance. Guest speakers will be Dr. Whitney Davis, Hillcrest Hospital Claremore, and Andrea Vaughan, coach of the Rogers State University 2022 National Champion softball team. Dinner will be served, and guests can enjoy the musical stylings of Travis Peck, as well as a dessert auction.
