For the record…
Shame on you Marie for writing an article filled with hearsay and incorrect facts. I do not know what disappoints me more, the fact that you are a Chamber Member and the Secretary of the Optimist Club, an organization that the Chamber supports, or the fact that you did not even bother to contact me at all.
This is yet another fine example of how some members of the community would rather create conspiracy theories and controversy over something good, instead of thinking on the positive side. Why not ask your self what does Community of Hope have to offer that is attracting all these people? Why not go and check it out on Sunday?
As for the Chamber Awards Banquet each person or business received a nomination from the Community. All nominees were voted on by the entire Chamber Membership, as you well know since you voted as a Chamber Member.
I have posted the results of this voting to this blog for all to see (voting results link).
Dear Maricopans please for the record, do your homework before you put something out to print, call those involved, ask questions, and get the facts, all the facts.
