This year, the Chamber recognized a team of individuals. [LassiterWare Cares] compassionate service is defined as action, beyond responsibilities of one’s profession that has helped to improve the welfare of humankind, including significant contributions benefiting one’s community. They not only write the check, but they get their hands dirty, sometimes literally by adding their own sweat to many projects,” said Sandi Moore, Executive Director at the Leesburg Chamber.
