MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce Presents Excellence In Business Awards

“I’m Bud from Schaaf Floral in beautiful downtown Fridley, MinnesotaFirst I’d like to thank the Academy – I’m sorry, that’s something I always wanted to say
First I’d like to thank the Academy – I’m sorry, that’s something I always wanted to say
Seriously, this is a great honor – For my wife Marcia and me today
We’re humbled and honored to be recognized – With such an esteemed group
But none of us in the Metro North Chamber – Treats this as some big scoop
The Metro North is very vital – For Lori and her staff this is no easy chore
They work tirelessly to keep it exciting for the members – It’s caused the membership to soar
Business and life are about relationships – Let’s all do business with a friend
You get an honest deal – And it puts your mind at ease in the end
So I’m sure it comes as no surprise – That these honorees here today
Are friends of ours in business – But there’s more I need to say
Danielle, at Essentially Massage works on my shoulder – As she’s done for quite awhile
At the end of each session it feels much better – And all of it is done with a smile
Walters picks up our cardboard and garbage – And you’ll get a kick out of this
One day someone loaded it with their junk – For me, this was not a moment of bliss
I called and ordered dumpsters with locks – Explaining the situation at hand
They said, We’ll come empty it for nothing – Now customer service like that is grand
Stepping Stone of Anoka – Has Julie Jeppson out there working hard
Finding resources for those less fortunate – Never letting down her guard
I’ve watched her eloquently state her case – For those less fortunate and in need
And the Metro North members have been quite supportive – Always eager to do a good deed
So again we’d like to thank you – And we’re proud to have met the test
And to be honored with these three organizations – We truly do feel blessed
Thank You Very Much And again, I’d like to thank the Academy”
