| Wainwright Bank, Tim Deihl Named Business and Volunteer of the Year
Congratulations to Wainwright Bank and Tim Deihl, recently honored by Mayor Menino as SMAMS' Volunteer and Business of the Year for 2009!
Wainwright in 2008 became the first bank in memory to open a branch in the SMAMS district, and they have quickly become a fixture in the neighborhood. Wainwright is very active in community affairs, and they are a lead sponsor of SMAMS' farmers' market at Ashmont Station. Branch Manager Nick Calos is a leader of the SMAMS Business Task Force, which works to increase communication among local merchants, establish a business crime watch, and eliminate litter.
Tim Deihl has been a key contributor to SMAMS in the past year. He took on the major job of managing our farmers' market, doing everything from recruiting farmers to delivering fliers door-to-door. As a real estate broker with At-Home Real Estate, Tim is also a leader of the SMAMS Business Task Force.
