Welcome to our late summer edition of South Shore Magazine, which features our 3rd annual Star of Excellence Award Issue. As you have traveled around the South Shore, shopping or going out to eat or participating in other activities, you are sure to have seen our Star of Excellence window decals or framed awards in the participants business. We are equally as proud as they are to display this 'badge of honor and success.' In this issue, you will see many of this year's winners. Please congratulate them all when you visit their business and let them know how cool it is to be recognized as a South Shore business that demonstrates superior service and product selection EVERY single day! I would like to take a minute to thank all of our staff for another job - and issue - extremely well done. Your hard work and professionalism is well noticed by our clients, our readers and, of course, me! I would also like to make note of an additional service in my personal portfolio.
