A Week of Winners!

I guess its time to accept that my east coast roots have been transplanted firmly in Columbus, Ohio…when I think about winners, I find I picture a steer at the Ohio State Fair with a big blue ribbon around its neck!

Dine Originals Columbus is all about winners this week. We drew from a data base of almost 6,000 subscribers (using a neat trick at www.Random.org) and identified Marit Hanson as the winner of our new website launch promotion that provides $1,000 in gift certificates to the luckiest girl in Columbus, Ohio.

Marit, an advertising agency employee and wedding invitation entrepreneur, said “I am thrilled to win the $1,000 Dine Originals Columbus gift certificate. I signed up for the mailing list so I could be “in the know” when it comes to the latest restaurant news and deals. I never thought I’d win (but I’m glad I did)! As a small business owner myself–and food lover–I can’t wait to eat my way around Columbus…literally.”

We also had a thrilling moment when the Columbus Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Council named our board president Kamal Boulos as the Small Business Owner of the Year at a luncheon on Tuesday. There were a number of other very successful business owners nominated, and this is only the second time in 25 years a restauranteur has received the prestigious award. Kamal’s stewardship of the nationally recognized Refectory is a study in authentic leadership and generosity of spirit. We couldn’t be more pleased for our colleague.

And then we had the fun of getting together with ten lucky CD101 listeners who were the lucky callers over a week’s campaign, to have an incredible meal at The Refectory with the most insightful wine lesson I’ve ever heard. Random guests who became instant friends over a lovely mea;, while enjoying the humor of the CD101 Morning Crew.

There wasn’t a blue ribbon to be found…but it was a joyful week of recognition, good fortune, and lucky stars.
