April 20, 2016 - Lasting Impressions celebrated 20 years in business with members of the community, business owners and the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors on Tuesday, April 19, 2016.
Paula Jones, owner, gathered with her family and friends as the event kicked off and Pam Phelps, Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, welcomed all present.
"Folks, its a day that we are here to celebrate. We are here to congratulate Paula [Jones] and family in the investment they have made in Center and the business that they established and have grown," said Phelps. "It started out small on the square, came here (Foster Street) and built a building, then had to do an expansion after that. So, it is with great gratitude we are here, you are here for us, you are here for the community. Lasting Impressions has been an immense community partner on many things."
Phelps said anyone can go to Jones, tell her what they need and she can get something put together for them, "We say thank you to you as well and the things that you support within the community and throughout Shelby County."
She finished by saying the 20-year evolution of the business has been exciting and it seems like it just started yesterday.
Meg Camp, Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Ambassador President, extended appreciation for being invited to the event and offered the assistance of the ambassadors.
"On behalf of the Ambassadors we want to say thank you for inviting us to your celebration. Very exciting, very beautiful, yes, it has just expanded since the time that I have been here in Center. If there is anything the Ambassadors can do for you we would be glad to help you just let us know," said Camp.
Jones then took a minute to address everyone, "I appreciate you all coming and I thank you so much for the support over the years, and of course my family and my wonderful husband, who I don't thank enough. It's been a family venture."
