ABC+BAH = A-OK!

072809businessafterhoursBAHABC1jk 072809businessafterhoursBAHABC2jk If you think you can buy lumber at Ability Building Center (ABC) in Rochester, you should have been at the Rochester Area Chamber Business After Hours event Tuesday night.

Even if you already know that ABC provides work and vocational services for people with disabilities and other special needs, you still should have been there.

The weather was great. The conversation sharp. And the Bunny's Coconut Cake was coconutty.

Thank you, veterans

4H0055 On this Veterans Days, I urge everyone to do what we should do everyday. 

Thank a veteran for their service

It doesn't matter if they served during wartime or not. All military service protects and benefits the rest of us.

My favorite veteran is my father - Joe Kiger - who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. And I know what a modest man he is and how he always says somebody else deserves thanks more than him.

Welll, ee does deserve it as do the thousands of men and women out there who have served or continue to serve.

No matter if you embarrass them, make sure to show your appreciations  to all veterans you know.

DSCN1066 When I had the honor of traveling with a large group WW II veterans on the first Honor Flight trip from Rochester to see the World War II memorial. I saw strangers walk up and thank those men and women for their service.

And I saw the vets' faces. They were overwhelmed with emotion.

Let them know you appreciate their service.
