Maryann, Olga, Monica and all of the 1 Team 1 Dream Board and Volunteers,

Congratulations on a terrific conclusion to this year’s Hands Up Lake County business competition.  The Gala was a stellar event with great attention to detail and the comfort of all.

The finalists all demonstrated extraordinary business acumen and willingness to learn and grow their respective enterprises.  The people of Lake County are the beneficiaries of the training and mentoring you provide through this program.  We look forward to and anticipate their businesses being supported and sustained by the community.

Thank you for gathering and expanding the number of sponsors and increasing their contributions to provide significant financial incentive to all the finalists.  You are indefatigable!

Best regards as you recoup – for a minute! – and plan for even more success in 2025.
