Bill Quallich, store manager of the CVS at State & Pleasant Valley, accepts the award for Business of the Month from Mayor DeGeeter and a City Council proclamation from Councilman Allan Divis.The store was nominated by Pete Kramarczuk for friendly service and helpful associates but mostly for one other very important reason - Pete was impressed that, instead of using the store's marquee sign for commercial purposes, CVS has continuously displayed "THANK YOU VETERANS" since Veterans Day. Like Pete, the Mayor was impressed that the store places respect for Veterans where it is due. Congratulations!
