“Doing What’s Best For The Children”
Providing Before & After School Care Serving Ages 6 Weeks - 12 Years Age
And the Award Goes To... The Rocky Mount Telegram’s Readers’ Choice Awards are a tradition welcomed with much enthusiasm and a lot of ballot counting. Paper and online ballots were open for voting, counted and tabulated in August with the winners being announced in this special section. This project is so much fun for us to do as we watch the voting and see leads in different categories change hands before finally settling on this year’s winner. All of the businesses listed here are full of employees that provide the services and produce the goods that make them the best. As a thank you to you, the voter, we offered the chance to be one of five (5) winners of a $25 VISA Gift Card. This year’s winners are... • W. R. Bailey • Diana Pridgen • Malcolm Fenner • Billy Hill • George Klima Thank you all for participating in this year’s voting! Congratulations to all the winners and we’ll see you again next year!
