Fellow citizens deserving of awards for community service
Saturday, March 14, 2015
The Pacesetter awards for community involvement and for large and small businesses and agriculture -- these are all designations and honors bestowed at the annual Chamber of Commerce banquet.
Healthy Nevada, On My Own, Hoffman Financial Resources and the Farmers' Ag and Grain Supply were all honored at this year's banquet, last Saturday with the theme of "Evening on Bourbon Street."
An award was also given to outgoing Chamber Board President Aimee Meyer.
The recognition for these businesses, their leaders and our chamber leadership is well deserved.
The chamber and the community laud the efforts of these people who have contributed so much.
It's an opportunity to celebrate our community and toast our fellow neighbors and co-workers who come forward and are recognized for their years of hard work and dedication to their community.
Recipients expressed their gratitude, to their customers, their employees and to their community. During the thank yous and the heartfelt appreciation for the award, there were common themes of commitment, unselfishness, dedication and cheerful attitude.
The award presenters and the award recipients reinforce these themes.
"Give back" and "make a difference" all characterize these deserving people who add so much to our community and our quality of life.
We join with our fellow chamber members and organizations in recognizing and honoring their efforts for all our betterment.
These people serve as a living example of what we can all strive to be.
We congratulate and salute you.
We appreciate the opportunity to join you during these celebrations and in sharing our belief in working to improve our communities and our quality of life.
