We are truly honored and grateful to be recognized as the Chamber Member of the Month for August. Receiving this award is especially meaningful as we celebrated this past Friday, August 21st, two years in business.
When you own a small business in a close knit community like ours, you quickly learn that success is never achieved alone. It truly takes a village, a village to help us grow, learn, teach and encourage us, and a village that inspires us to give back.
I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported Elite Engraving & More over the past two years. Whether you placed an order, recommended our business, shared one of our posts, stopped by the store, or simply offered a kind word of encouragement, you have played a part in our journey.
A very special thank you goes out to God for showing me the signs to open my business, to my husband Javier Mendez for believing in me, my daughter Shovanah, grand daughter Skai, Eduardo, and Sonja who work with me early mornings and late nights when needed. My family and friends who were there that night and who have stood beside us every step of the way. Your love, patience, encouragement, and belief in us has meant more than words can express.
One of the greatest blessings of being a small-business owner is having the opportunity to give back to the community that has given so much to us. We are proud to be part of this community, and we look forward to continuing to serve, support, and celebrate the people in it.
There are some exciting things ahead for Elite Engraving & More!
Thank you to the Chamber Members for this incredible honor, and thank you all for being part of our story. The best chapters are still ahead! God is Good! 🙏💕🙏
