Tonight was the Presidential Ball of the Charles County Chamber of Commerce. Helen Heier of Bridgett, Mock & Associates served a President for 2008 and welcomed Ken Weikel of Chick-Fil-A as the President for 2009. I’ve had the pleasure to work with Helen over the past year and she has done a tremendous job of promoting the Chamber. I am confident that Ken will continue her great work.
The Crossing at Casey Jones Restaurant received the 2008 Reed W. McDonagh Business of the Year Award and Country Florist was named the 2008 Small Business of the Year Award. I believe a strong and vibrant business community is vital to the growth and success of Charles County and it is great to see businesses giving back to the community through support and involvement in community affairs.
