Thank You for Our Nomination

Wow, what an amazing week it has been! Thursday, Special Occasions was invited to the Flint/Genesee County 2013 Business Awards. We were honored to be nominated for the Outstanding Women in Business Award.

The event was held at the Riverfront Banquet Center in Flint, MI. A beautiful venue which we were able to compliment with our linens for an overall stunning event. The awards banquet brought light to many of the stellar businesses that we share a community with. Awards were given in the categories of outstanding service businesses, outstanding manufacturing businesses, outstanding minority-owned businesses, outstanding woman-owned businesses, outstanding green businesses and outstanding corporate citizenship. To say the least, we were surround for an evening with truly amazing people. To contribute to the collection of amazing people, we brought with us several of our staff members. If you have worked with us in the past or met any of our staff members we hope that you will agree with us that we have one amazing staff as a whole. Everyday they make us proud with their actions and attitudes. It is because of them that we believe we were honored in this way at the Flint/Genesee County Business Awards. 

It turned out to be a lovely night filled with conversation, laughter and appreciation. While we did not take home the woman owned business award our owner, Lorrie Sage, was honored during the event for her growth and excellence in business with the ATHENAPowerLink® Award. 

After the award banquet we finished out the week by sending a few of our staff members to the Hero Round Table conference being hosted in Swartz Creek, MI. The conference spoke about the knowledge and tools needed to create humanitarian, service-focused hero's in our community and through out the world. We were honored to be part of this ground breaking cause and simply cannot wait until we can attend again next year with even more of our staff members. 

Like I said before, it was an amazing week! We are rejuvenated, ready and looking for more ways we can create a positive ripple effect within our community and those who we have the pleasure of coming in contact with on a daily basis.
