On Thursday, December 6, 2012, Bill Smith, President & CEO of Waterous Company in South St. Paul, will be honored at the River Heights Chamber of Commerce's Cheers to Our Volunteers Luncheon at Mendakota Country Club in Mendota Heights!

The Forrest Glewwe Visions of Excellence Award has been given out to extraordinary business leaders in the River Heights Chamber of Commerce business community for 25 years.

Bill has excelled in all of the criteria this award encompasses including applying himself completely to the principles of entrepreneurship, family, ethics and corporate citizenship.

Bill was nominated and selected by his peers in the Chamber and business community.  "I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who felt me worthy of receiving such a prestigious award. I will do everything in my power to live up to the established standards set for this award," noted Bill.

The River Heights Chamber of Commerce and local business community commemorates this special occasion by honoring Bill Smith, a man who has earned the respect of the River Heights Community for his hard work, local support and his belief in the spirit of free enterprise.

The Chamber will also host Brad Rixmann, entrepreneur and owner of Pawn America Minnesota, as its keynote speaker.  Mr. Rixmann will talk about his entrepreneurial experience, the power of volunteerism and the value of giving back to the community.
