Recommendation for Tri-City Baptist Church

To whom it may concern,

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Tri-City Baptist Church, located in Westminster, Colorado. Established in 1981, it has served as a cornerstone of faith and community for many years, offering a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals and families alike.

Tri-City Baptist Church provides a diverse range of offerings, including regular worship services, Bible studies, and programs specifically designed for children, youth, and adults. It provides the services and programs in English and Spanish to help create unity among the diverse groups within its community. To further drive its inclusion, it offers accessible services and resources for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. This commitment to inclusivity ensures that everyone can experience the message of faith in a way that resonates with their needs.

The church is supported by a dedicated and compassionate team of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that all members of the congregation can grow spiritually and engage meaningfully in their faith journey. The team’s passion for service is matched by their deep commitment to the mission of the church, making it a truly special place to worship and belong.

Tri-City Baptist Church also offers a food bank service to its community to help provide families and individuals with crucial resources that meet their basic needs and help to improve their wellbeing.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tri-City Baptist Church to anyone seeking a church that is both welcoming and committed to serving the needs of its community. It is a place of growth, fellowship, and spiritual enrichment.

Sincerely,

Matt Nagy
Optimization Specialist

Spotlight for Paradise Pool and Spa

Building More Than Pools: The Story of Paradise Pools and Spa

Located in the heart of Florence, California, Paradise Pools and Spa has been providing top-quality pool and spa services since 1989. Co-owned by Jason Briggs and his business partner, Adam Morley, the company has grown from modest beginnings into one of Southern California’s most trusted names in the industry.

From an early age, Jason knew entrepreneurship was his calling. “I always knew I wanted to be self-employed,” he shares. “I come from a long line of people who are self-employed.” After working part-time at Adam’s pool cleaning company, Jason recognized a unique opportunity in the industry and seized it.

What started with a small crew and a handful of clients has grown into a full-service operation. It now maintains hundreds of residential and commercial properties. Paradise Pools and Spa offers a wide range of services, from routine maintenance to fully customized pool installations.

Over the years, the company has built a strong reputation as a one-stop solution in the pool and spa space. “We’re one of the only companies that handle the entire process,” Jason explains. “That adds a lot of value for our customers, compared to someone who only does construction, leaving the client to find a separate service provider.”

This all-in approach is what truly sets Paradise Pools and Spa apart. The team doesn’t just build or maintain pools. They guide clients through every step, from design to ongoing care. Jason, Adam, and their dedicated staff take pride in delivering seamless, end-to-end service with a personal touch.

Looking ahead, Jason and Adam are focused on continued growth while maintaining the high standards that have defined their success. “We want to become a stronger company so we can deliver the best service possible and continue adding value for our customers,” says Jason.

Even as the business continues to evolve, Paradise Pools and Spa remains grounded in its core values: reliability, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction. Jason and Adam are deeply involved in daily operations, ensuring that every project, whether a routine cleaning or a custom luxury build, meets the company’s high standards. Beyond their commitment to quality service, they also stay actively engaged in the local community, recognizing the importance of connection and strong relationships. From participating in pool association events and hosting drowning prevention seminars to sponsoring local little league teams, the company is dedicated to making a positive impact both in and out of the water.

Spotlight for Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce

Network. Refer. Grow: The Marlborough Regional Chamber’s Vision for a Thriving Business Community.

For more than a century, the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce has been a driving force behind the area’s economic vitality. More than just a network of businesses, it is a community builder—a connector of people, ideas, and
opportunities. At its core is Michelle Mercier, a dynamic leader whose vision and commitment, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and staff, continue to shape the region’s thriving business landscape. Together, they’ve become the quiet engine powering local success stories—one connection at a time.

When Michelle Mercier stepped into the role of President at the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce, she brought more than a résumé—she brought energy, empathy, and a deep understanding of what it takes to help businesses. With a background in entrepreneurship and nonprofit work, she knows firsthand the challenges local business owners face, especially during times of uncertainty.

“I think the ability to make an impact on someone’s life—whether it’s through working with a large employer or a small business—and witnessing the ripple effect that follows is truly powerful,” Mercier says. “Just being able to help people, even in small ways, can sometimes change the course of their lives.”

Under Mercier’s leadership, the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce is redefining its role—not just as a connector of businesses, but as a catalyst for community growth and resilience. At its core, the Chamber provides the essential resources business owners need to succeed: networking opportunities, educational workshops, advocacy at both the local and state levels, and increased visibility within the region.

“We offer a wide range of educational programs,” Mercier explains. “From referral groups and women’s networking events to practical classes, we cover it all. We also have an in-house consultant available to assist business owners free of charge. Additionally, we’re launching a roundtable specifically for large employers to foster collaboration and address shared challenges.”

Mercier’s academic background may surprise some, but it has proven to be a powerful asset in her career. Majoring in theatre has equipped her with invaluable public speaking skills—skills she now uses daily in her leadership role. “People will be usually surprised by the fact that it’s a theater and music degree, but it actually comes in quite handy.”

The Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce is evolving into more than just a business network—it’s a hub for innovation, collaboration, and community growth. With her unique blend of empathy and strategic vision, Mercier is helping shape a future where local businesses don’t just survive—they thrive. At the heart of it all is a clear mission: to network, refer, and grow.
