Awards: Unsung Heroes

It’s hard to understand just how blessed we are to be a part of this community until you start thinking about the things that happen consistently in our community. Some of these things, when you think of them, seem impossible to accomplish. When you then have a year like 2020, a year full of stress, crises, worry and fear, and you see individuals and groups take action, you begin to see that there is a little bit of magic happening here next to the Rainbow River.

Such is the case when you consider how many folks were nominated for the DCBA’s customer service award this year. So many businesses, but also churches and individuals were nominated that we decided that maybe we should instead call it the “unsung hero” award. So that’s what we will do from now on. It was incredible how many folks started their answer with “Can I nominate a church?” or “Can I nominate an individual?” or “Does it have to be a business because…”

It takes a village, and the following folks (and more) are all part of our village.

The following are among the unsung heroes who went the extra mile for our community on 2020:

Michel Yeuell, Dunnellon Elementary School

Publix Rainbow Square Shopping Center

Empowered ATA Family Martial Arts

Cruise Planners – Miller’s World Travel

Dunnellon Community Church

Dunnellon Tire & Auto

Advantage Primary Care

Ink Spot Media

Rainbow River Medical

Riverland News

River Life Church

Sweeties’ Cafe & Bakery

Paula DiPaula

Southern Palate Restaurant & Catering

We have included some of the quotes from their nominees. Take a look at these businesses, churches and individuals, and if you get a chance, say thank you!

Ribbon Cutting Policy

DCBA ribbon cuttings are available to Chamber Members Monday – Thursday between the hours of 11 AM – 5 PM and MUST be confirmed and approved in advance by the Dunnellon Chamber & Business Association, so, that we may cerify the availability of the Dunnellon Chamber officials and the materials for the event.

Saturday or Sunday Ribbon cuttings are not available currently due to staffing constraints.

Please be sure to send all information pertaining to the ribbon cutting to the Chamber at least 3 weeks in advance of your scheduled ribbon cutting.  So, that there will be enough time for social media postings and email blasts.
