Friends: Those who are saved from much, love much

Friends! Friends! Friends! Seems like everyone has friends. That’s got to be a good thing, right? There’s nothing ubiquitous about an old friend’s character or loyalties which we share between each other. Friends reflect much of who we are by standing vanguard against the reputation of adversaries and speaking kind words in defense of our character. It’s good for someone else to speak for you in peaceful seasons of spring and summer; “dry autumns as leaves hit the ground and hatefully cold winters.”

Chamber to be congratulated on 20th anniversary of community event

One of the most enjoyable Hamilton Area Chamber of Commerce events for both the chamber members and the public is the organization’s annual Shrimp Boil.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of the fun and tasty event, and everyone was invited out to share in the fun and the delicious shrimp plates and fixings.
The Shrimp Boil is held annually at the Hamilton Fire Department as a way to gather the chamber members, other business professionals and members of the community. It’s also an extremely delightful and likable fundraiser for the chamber.

On Friday, April 28, and Saturday, April 29, we hosted our third annual “Show for Lowe’s.” The Show for Lowe’s” is a big truck show we use to spread awareness and raise funds for our foundation. Our son Waylon was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder known as Lowe Syndrome when he was six months old. We had never even heard of Lowe Syndrome until he was diagnosed. My husband Thomas Sullivan is an owner-operator and is leased on with Robertson Trucking. Thomas came up with the idea to use his truck to raise more awareness.

Surveys

Is it me, or is the world getting crazier? I don’t know about you and your shopping experience, but it seems everywhere I shop and get a receipt, on the bottom of that receipt is a request to let the store know how your shopping experience was. They say they really care and want to know how you felt about your shopping in their location. They promise a reward of some kind if you do take the time to fill out their online survey.
