| Letters
of Congratulations |
| The
top honor, The Marquis Cup, is being awarded to Valley Pools & Spas
in Burnsville, Minn. The award is for the top overall outstanding
Marquis customer. The family-owned and operated business has
been in operation since 1974 and has three stores in Minnesota and
one in Wisconsin. They are a long-time Marquis Dealer. "Marquis
Spas and Valley Pools & Spas have a long history together" said Schrenk. "Marquis
has been in business for over 30 years and Valley Pools has been a
Marquis dealer for over 20 of those. That is pretty incredible. They
have shown, and continue to show, and incredible commitment to the
Marquis brand. We have an immense respect for what Valley Pools
& Spas has accomplished through the years and we are honored they have
chosen to associate with us." |
| "Dear
Hilary (and all of the Valley Pools gang): Congratulations to you
all for making the Aqua 100 Hall of Fame. Greatly deserved. You set
a great standard for excellence in our industry. BioGuard is extremely
proud to be associated with your company. Hope you have yet another
great year. Sincerely Bio-Lab, Inc. Jim Siebert." |
|
"Congratulations
on being ranked as one of Aqua Magazines Top 100 Swimming Pool
Companies. We choose our dealers carefully, and we are proud
to have a professional establishment such as yours promoting
our product. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide
our products and services to you, and in turn, to your customers.
Your dedication to customer service, product knowledge and quality
craftsmanship set the standard all others strive to attain. Sincerely,
John St. Clair, Jr. President of All Seasons Automatic Pool covers."
|
