2005
Business of the Year, Michael’s Pizzeria, Michael Hedrick owner
|
|
The business of the year is selected from one of the
12 businesses of the month for 2005. The criterion
for business of the month is on our website. We encourage member
businesses to nominate a business based on the criterion. The
business of the year is selected by secret ballot by the board of
directors of the Easley Chamber of Commerce.
The business of the year for 2005 had its 2nd annual Christmas party
for Miracle Hill Ministries and hosted 30 kids from 3 –18 years of
age. They first learned of Miracle Hill in 2004 and found that the
kids at the home were not going to have a Christmas. This was
unacceptable. This business decided they would give the children a
good Christmas and took it on themselves to gather the funds and the
presents from fellow Easley businesses and adopt the home for
Christmas.
With help from 29 local businesses they received $1700 in gifts for
the kids. They also asked for donations from larger businesses (like
Peoples, Community South, McKinney Dodge). They had donations of
$7000, which was given to Miracle Hill for their cottages. [NOTE:
Michael & Susan gratefully acknowledge ALL those who contributed
to this cause.]
On Christmas Eve the Pizzeria closed at 4:00 PM when the kids showed
up. They feed them appetizers then everyone ordered their entree of
choice. Afterward the kids dug into their gifts. This was their
Christmas and all enjoyed the spirit of the season. |
This would not have been possible if it were not for our 2005 Business of
the Year:
Michael’s Pizzeria.
