I would like to prepare a certificate of achievement from the Chamber and present it to them. Pete, does the BOS want to do the same as they did for Christophers? Let's coordinate if possible. Owners Joanna & Steve Bell are planning a week long celebration from 11/16 - 11/20. Visit their web site to see this great old photo http://ssbe1162 health officelive.com/PhotosIV.aspx and read their history. It is a great success story. I am copying newspaper editors Paul Feeley and Melissa Russell on this email, as well as Meghan Young-Tafoya and Sheila Clarke from Reading's EDC. Irene 11/8/2010
