Chamber to Honor Trio At Annual Recognition Dinner

 

 

 

 

Brenda Pinnell,              C.A.R.S. Staff               Betsy Hubbard

         Two individuals and a Clintonville business will be honored at the Chamber’s Annual Recognition Dinner and Silent Auction on March 18th at the University Plaza. 

Brenda Pinnell of Bernie’s Garage has been named the “Business Person of the Year” and Clintonville Automotive Repair Service (C.A.R.S.) has been named the “Business of the Year” by the Chamber.  The Booster “Community Volunteer of the Year” will be Betsy Hubbard of  Longview Ave.

     Pinnell is a Past Chair of the Board of the Chamber and currently chairperson of the Chamber’s very successful “Cruise the Ville” event.   “Brenda has always been a very active Chamber leader,” said Scott Smith, Chairman of this years dinner, “but her leadership during last year’s High Street Improvement project certainly made her very deserving of this award.   Her positive approach to the project, both with her own customers and with other High Street business owners was simply outstanding.”

     “C.A.R.S. is one of those businesses that has been part of the fabric of Clintonville for many years,” said Shari Carroll, Chamber Chair of the Board. “Ron Stein and all of his employees quietly go about the business of making Clintonville a better place.  Like our past winners, they are very deserving and it is our pleasure to honor them for their service.”  C.A.R.S. has been in business in Clintonville since 1962.

    Betsy Hubbard is a former Clintonville Area Commission, who gave up her seat to focus her efforts on the Whetstone Renovation Initiative.  She is the chair person of the group that is assisting the city Recreation and Parks Department with planning for the $1.2 million renovation of the Whetstone Rec Center. She also volunteers at Clinton Elementary School.

   In addition to the awards presentations, the Chamber will hold a Silent Auction as part of the gala evening.  Dinner attendees will be able to bid on a variety of unique items and services that have been donated by Chamber members.

Text Box: Business and Health Reflections

The Busyness of Business…

     Today I discovered that the busier I am, the less attention I pay to details. Things like putting the correct date on the flyer, forgetting to write down the correct appointment time. I never understood the connection to the busyness of business until today. After 3 incidents in a row (it always comes in 3″s !) I realized I need to take a well deserved pause….

     I sing about this in one of my songs…it’s beautiful to do nothing and then just take a break! (sung in blues style) It’s even more beautiful to be really productive and then take one!  Perhaps the pattern I was in , now exposed, can recede in to the past, as I create what I want. I am accountable to details, in a joyful way. I am busy and detailed. I am changing this as I write this.

   Today, I can create what tomorrow will bring, I only need a few pauses now and then. The pause creates clarity. So right now I am going to take one! Join me for a few breaths, a moment of silence in the mind….enjoy!
