MARC's 13th Annual Business Advisory Council Breakfast and Awards Celebration was held recently at Middlesex Community College.  The guest speaker was Kevin Wilhelm, Executive Director of the Middlesex United Way, second from left.  MARC honors businesses and schools that work with people with disabilities and honors outstanding employees, teachers and students every year.

"Here's what I believe it will take to make our little corner of the world, Middlesex County, a better place: We all need to listen more than we talk, treat people with respect, admit mistakes and be sure not to repeat them and, finally, follow through on what we say we are going to do. I don't think this is asking too much from you and me. If we all are doing this together, our communities will be vastly different in the most positive of ways."
- Kevin Wilhelm, United Way
