The Greater Martinsville Chamber and the Martinsville Rotary Club have slated Tuesday, April 21st, for the 2026 State of the City. As in years past, the dinner will be held at the Martinsville High School Cafeteria and will feature brief presentations by the two host organizations. The Chamber will conduct its annual award presentation, and the highlight of the evening will be the State of the City address by Mayor Kenny Costin.
Social Hour will begin at 5:30 p.m., and a delicious dinner catered by Heavenly Helpings will be served at 6:30 p.m. Throughout the early part of the evening, attendees may bid on a wide variety of items during the silent auction.
President of the Martinsville Rotary Club, Aaron Cunningham, will give an overview of the club’s community activities and upcoming events. Martinsville Chamber board chair Brian Haggard will provide an update on the Chamber’s initiatives and plans. Brian will assist the emcee in presenting and honoring the winners of the Outstanding Business, Outstanding Business Professional, and the coveted Ruth Rusie Spirit of Service awards.
