FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Greater
Starkville Development Partnership sponsored its annual Industry Appreciation
Golf Tournament and Dinner May 22, 2003 with nearly 70 golfers vying
for great prizes and recognition. 17 teams teed-off at the Starkville
County Club for a friendly round of golf, prizes, and door prizes. Later
that evening, over 120 community officials, including Partnership staff
and board members gathered with numerous industry representatives to
publicly thank the county's industries for their contributions to our
community and to offer continued support of their growth, expansions,
and community involvement.
Presenting
the annual Industry of the Year Award was Partnership CEO and President
David Thornell who commented that this year's winner of the prestigious
award, Synergetics, is a great success story for our community. Synergetics
has four offices in Starkville, Cleveland, and Jackson and employs 45
people. " They are a "home-grown" business, having been
founded by a Starkville native, Jim Raines, and they are now in their
fourth location. The former Motorguide building had sat empty for over
a year and a half, but has now been renovated and occupied by not only
Synergetics, as owner, but also houses several other tenants. They are
recognized as leading technology consultants and are now opening other
offices around the State. They are very active in many community projects
and causes, and are very deserving of this honor", says Thornell.
On hand
to accept the award for Synergetics was founder Jim Raines.
In addition
Tony Carr of Hewlett Industries and President of the Starkville Area
Industry Roundtable, presented Rodney Faver, an Honorary Lifetime Membership
in the Roundtable. Faver recently retired after 40 years with Garan
Manufacturing, 25 of which were in the Starkville office as Corporate
Vice President.
Throughout
the course of the dinner, the Partnership sponsored its annual "Thank
You" to all local industry employees by giving out door prizes
donated by local businesses.
