Hello Tom,         

I did not get a chance to personally congratulate you on your receiving the Edward R Pedersen Distinguished Service Award by your peers.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that you have been recognized by the group for all you do. I was amazed that you had not won it before. When I think of someone stepping up in the community to help people in need I always think of you.

I have been around for a while, not as long as most but enough to see what you do for the association and for the community from Habitat to Homes for the Troops to Christmas in April just to name a few. We are lucky to have you as part of the team and any customer is lucky to have you on the job.

Congratulations again, I am proud to know you.

Trevor
