Posted Oct 10, 2008
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE: Tabitha Beaver, the Central Pa. Chamber of Commerce's communication and education coordinator, presents Bill Wilhelm, Watsontown Christian Academy administrator and business and education committee member, with a 'Who I Am Makes A Difference' ribbon from the Blue Ribbon Campaign. Area residents are being encouraged to share a ribbon with someone who personally and professionally impacted their lives.
MILTON - Acknowledging a job well done or offering thanks for positively influencing someone's life can, at times, be a tall order.
"People can be too bashful to give praise," said Maria Culp, president and CEO of the Central Pa. Chamber of Commerce.
She and the rest of the chamber staff have been warming up to the idea of honoring people who have meant something to them. And that sentiment is beginning to grow around them.
The chamber recently joined the "Who I Am Makes a Difference" Blue Ribbon Campaign, and are hoping others will do the same.

Posted Sep 08, 2008
Todd Ross, President T-Ross Brothers Construction, Inc. accepts a "Who I Am Makes a Difference" Blue Ribbon from Maria Culp, President & CEO of the Central PA Chamber of Commerce as part of the Chambers Blue Ribbon Campaign.
MILTON, PA: The Central PA Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Difference Makers International and their "Who I Am Makes A Difference" Blue Ribbon Campaign. We believe, as a Chamber, that it is imperative to let those that make a positive impact on our lives know that they have in fact made a difference. As adults, we sometimes forget how important it is to express that. Whether it is because we are embarrassed to admit how we have been affected or never found the right words or the time to tell someone that they have inspired us; we believe that it is time to embrace the positive impacts in our lives and on our communities that so many people have made. Now is the time to acknowledge our appreciation and respect to people of every age, race, religion, nationality and economic status who have made a difference in our lives.
