Hard Work Recognized

Having worked with small businesses for over 20 years, seeing hard working entrepreneurs succeed is always heartwarming.

This is especially true of Vicki and Jay Hood, two of the hardest working small business owners we know. Vicki and Jay left the hubbub of metro Atlanta several years ago, moving to North Georgia. Here they opened a Citrus Solutions carpet cleaning franchise.

Despite the down economy, the Hoods have persevered. They've networked in Lumpkin and Dawson counties, joined the chamber of Commerce in both Dawson and Lumpkin counties, and became active in both business communities.

The couple have built their business on hard work and customer referrals. Customers and business associates alike will tell you that the two entrepreneurs are known for their honesty, trustworthiness, and 'you're in good hands' attitude.

While Jay and Vicki have been busy growing their business, people have been watching and noting the Hood's commitment to their work and community. So, it came as no surprise to us when the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce named the couple, Dawson County's Entrepreneurs of the Year.

Congratulations, Jay and Vicki. You are, indeed, outstanding entrepreneurs.

Dahlonega-Lumpkin Business Leads Group

One of the best networking groups in the Dahlonega-Lumpkin Chamber of Commerce is the Business Leads Group.

This team of small business owners works to promote not just their own businesses but those of all the members of the group. But they do a great deal more than that. You'll see the BLG volunteering at events throughout the county.

They were at the Six Gap Century Bicycle Race handing out water. They were downtown Halloween night, dishing out candy to the thousands of children trick or treating on the square. They made chili and competed in the NOA Annual Chili Cook-Off. (While the BLG didn't win the Best Chili award, testers were heard praising the smokiness flavor of the group's chili and rice dish.)

Need more information on this group, contact President Davis Palmour.
