The Annual Business Award Breakfast On As Planned Despite the Earlier Snow Forecast

It happened while Amy took a summer vacation to Nova Scotia in 2001 that she would realize her life-altering passion!

First reports of a potential snow storm Thursday night and Friday morning had event planners of the Annual Business Awards Breakfast wondering about a potential “snow date” for this large annual event. The group decided to have faith that we would eventually be spared following weeks of bad weather – it paid off! The mooring breakfast event is on target and will kick-off as planned at 7:30 AM at the Atkinson Country Club on February 13th.

With an almost sold-out, record attendance planned for the day, award winners will be honored with special recognition in front of colleagues, peers and special guests. Please join us in congratulating the 2014 Outstanding Businesses:
