As we put 2009 behind us and turn a new chapter for 2010 I
think of all the magnificent things that happened, the near catastrophes, and
the amount of food we cooked!! God is so
very good and has blessed me with a staff of great people, wonderful community
to grow my business along with family, friends and neighbors who would do
anything for you.
What are your thoughts on making New Years Resolutions? I always see January 1st as a day
of such clarity, and so determined to follow through on how I want to be a
better person. Of course it is also the
first day I get off since Thanksgiving, so I love it. This year I spent the day with my Mother, who
I have promised to spend more time with.
She was the main reason for moving back to Indiana and I want to be a
better daughter and mother. I wish you
willpower, and steadfastness while you reach for your goals and dreams this
year.
Looking around, there are so many people to thank for our
growth here in Westfield. There are so many businesses that have helped us
maintain our quality and helped get our name out that I would like to take this
time to name a few (I would like to list them all but we would be here
for a long time.... Stay tuned for more great people in coming newsletters).
Wood Wind Golf Club: We became a partner with Wood Wind Golf Club in
September of 2008, owned by The Estridge Companies and have enjoyed providing
foodservice to all the many guests and golfers throughout the year. In addition, we have been able to host, as
the exclusive caterer; weddings, golf outings and many other special events in
the spacious pavilion which seats up to 195 guests. The general manager Doc O'Neal and myself
have worked together over the past ten years from his days at The
Preserve/Bridgewater Club (by the
way...The Wood Wind Golf Academy is now open and a great place to continue your
golf throughout the winter).

there three years ago and now we are one of their exclusive caterers. Jon Dartt a Westfield resident and Vice
President of Trade Sales recommended us and the relationship has been a great
one. Thank you Jon (P.S. Buy Delta Faucet Products).
www.deltafaucet.comThe Fern of Westfield: A
new event venue in downtown Westfield opened its doors in 2009, perfect for
events from 5-75. Jane and Pat Callahan
purchased the home and brought it from dull to dynamic! Jane and Pat did most of the work and believe
me it is impressive. Warm, inviting,
private and award winning are a few of the words that pop in my head. Jane asked us to be her exclusive caterer and
of course we said "Yes" The quality of
people in Westfield never ceases to amaze me and I would put Jane and Pat as
the cream of the crop (P.S. They are
adding an outdoor garden this year).
www.thefernofwestfield.comIndulge me one more..if you wouldAvellana Web Design Group: Tony Avellana and I have been attending Saint
Maria Goretti parish together since I moved to Westfield, WOW over 10 years
now. His wife Julie worked at the
restaurant for over 4 years as a server and then as our catering manager. Two of his sons Peter and Jacob work with us
on many catering events as well as help us out in the kitchen, so for me Avellana Web Design Group is part of my family
and not just a business. We had a good
website before, but when Tony took it over it was like hiring a boss for
myself. "When are you going to get me the
content Keltie?" "Let's plan on meeting here to go over your marketing strategy" I am not easy to pin down!
But what I can tell you, is that Tony has brought creativity, focus and
amazing marketing experience to us and our brand. Tony is an expert in web design and I am thrilled to be working with him
he has helped in every aspect of our marketing and continues to drive business
our way (P.S. He is also an amazing recording artist as well... you should hear this
guy sing).
