| U.S. Local Business Association’s Award
Plaque Honors the Achievement
WASHINGTON D.C., June 24, 2008 -- St. Joseph
School has been selected for the 2008 Best of Meriden Award in the Religious
Schools category by the U.S. Local Business Association (USLBA).
The USLBA "Best of Local Business" Award
Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country.
Each year, the USLBA identifies companies that they believe have achieved
exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category.
These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business
through service to their customers and community.
Various sources of information were gathered
and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2008 USLBA Award
Program focused on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based
on the information gathered both internally by the USLBA and data provided
by third parties. |
