Tonight I attended the Mequon-Thiensville Chamber of Commerce “Celebrate Your Community” annual awards dinner. Congratulations to the winners – Business of the Year: the cheel (a great restaurant); Citizen of the Year: Tim Vertz (marketing professional extraordinaire and a guy who does a lot for our community); Distringuished Service: Connie Pukaite (former common council member, former mayor and a contributor to so much of our community for 51 years); and Next Generation Leadership: Tony Navarre (special education teacher, Homestead hockey coach, assistant soccer coach and cancer survivor – quite a role model). Our community is fortunate to have such great leaders and contributors!
