LMCDC annual meeting held virtually

Starting a business in the middle of a global pandemic is not for the faint of heart. Tony and Kelly Gau built a popular social desination for all ages. Prior to 2020, most people had to leave town to enjoy a specialty cup of coffee. Now they can just walk uptown. Swallow Coffeehouse was awarded Business of the Year and New Business of the Year (voted by the public). Owners, Tony and Kelly Gau are pictured above with their award.

Kathy Christianson (second from left) was awarded Volunteer of the Year. She is pictured above with LMCDC board members, Cathy Bernhard, Cassie Johnson and Angie Thompson,

Organization of the Year was awarded to Meals on Wheels. Delivery volunteers pictured above: Joan and Derald Kloster; and Pete and Sandy Barke.
