HI EVERYONE, I’M CHRISTINE HACHEM AND THIS IS THE PBN BUSINESS REPORT.
JERSEY MIKES SUBS, A LEADING NATIONAL SANDWICH CHAIN, WILL SOON BE OPENING IN MARLBORO ON ROUTE 20 NEXT TO DOCTORS EXPRESS URGENT CARE. THE NEW JERSEY BASED COMPANY HAS OVER ONE THOUSAND LOCATIONS AND IS KNOWN FOR THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. MARCH IS THEIR ANNUAL MONTH OF GIVING AND FOCUSES ON RAISING FUNDS FOR OVER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY CHARITIES NATIONWIDE. ON MARCH 30TH 100 PERCENT OF THE DAYS SALES AT EACH LOCATION IS DONATED TO A LOCAL PARTNER CHARITY. A HIRING EVENT WILL BE HELD ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 23RD AND THE STORE HOPES TO OPEN SOON AFTER THAT.
RECENTLY BONNIE BEEYAWKEY OF HABITAT FOR HUMANITY MET WITH A CLASSROOM OF STUDENTS AT THE MILLER SCHOOL IN HOLLISTON. THE REASON FOR THE VISIT WAS TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TWO HOMES BEING BUILT IN THE TOWN. THE CLASS TEACHER, SARA PETERS, IS A BIG SUPPORTER OF HABITAT. THIS HOLIDAY SEASON THE CLASSROOM MADE A DONATION IN MRS. PETERS NAME TO THE PROJECT. LESSONS HAVE BEEN INTERGRATED INTO DAILY ROUTINES ABOUT THE WORK THE CHARITY DOES IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES. STUDENTS LEARN EVERYTHING FROM THE IMPORTANCE OF HELPING OTHERS TO HOW TO CALCULATE THE COSTS OF BUILDING AND MAINTAINING A HOME. THEY ALSO DISCUSS THE DESIGN ELEMENTS AND COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE NEED FOR GOOD QUALITY MATERIALS. THE ENTIRE SCHOOL COMMUNITY IS INVOLVED WITH RAISING AWARENESS FOR HELPING TO MAKE HOLLISTON AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY AND WELCOMING THE NEW FAMILIES. THE KIDS WILL BE RAISING MONEY TO FURTHER CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT AND A REUNION CLASS RECENTLY MADE A DONATION TO THE PROJECT AS WELL.
NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO PLAN AHEAD FOR THE UPCOMING, EVER POPULAR TASTE OF METROWEST EVENT! THE METROWEST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL BE HOSTING THE ANNUAL GATHERING OF AREA RESTAURANTS, CATERERS AND FOODIES ON TUESDAY MARCH 22ND AT THE SHERATON HOTEL IN FRAMINGHAM. THERE IS STILL TIME TO SIGN UP AS A PARTICIPANT TO VYE FOR THE MUCH COVETED VOTERS CHOICE AWARDS. LAST YEARS EVENT DREW TWELVE HUNDRED PEOPLE AND SHOWCASED MANY DELICIOUS DISHES.
