I have worked hard to become successful
but I have not done it alone. I would like to acknowledge the
following individuals and groups who have helped me along the
way.
|
| The Norfolk
District Business Development Corporation |
 Without
the financial, business and administrative support of NDBDC
I would not have been able to open my business in Simcoe. I
would like to thank all the staff who have helped me at NDBDC
over the past year.
I also enjoy the ongoing support of the Norfolk Small Business
Club, which is affiliated with NDBDC. Their monthly meetings
are a great opportunity to network with other people like myself.

| Mike Bauslaugh |
Mike has written two articles about my business
which were in The
Simcoe Times-Reformer. This was very useful when I first
opened my store. The articles are printed in full on another
page of this web site. Thanks Mike for the great articles you
wrote.
|
| Mayor Rita Kalmbach |
I would also like to thank Mayor Rita Kalmbach
who wrote me such an encouraging letter
after seeing the article by Mike Bauslaugh in the newspaper.
|
| Catherine Payne |
I would like to thank Catherine who helped
to teach me English when I first arrived in Canada. At that
time she was a volunteer with the Haldimand-Norfolk
Literacy Council where they offer ESL tutoring. Since
then Catherine has become a family friend. She has helped with
my Fashion Show, typed up resumes, written text and provided
some of the photos for the website.
|
| A BIG Thank you to all my customers who have supported
my business. |
I'll finish by thanking the most important
people in my life; my husband Anatoli and my children. They
have been so helpful and supportive throughout this whole venture.
|
Thank you everyone
Marina |
