With over 400 guests in attendance, the Taste of San Rafael/State of the City Dinner was both a success and a celebration last week. Our opportunity to award the fantastic accomplishments of the Small Business of the Year to Bertolli's Auto Body, the Large Business of the Year to Redwood Credit Union, the Joe Garbarino Green Business Award to Strategic Energy Innovations, combined with our recognition of the Mary Lou Jacobson Award to Gail Theller, the Elissa Giambastiani Business Advocacy Award to Fred Divine, the Citizen of the Year award to Hugo Landecker and the Employee of Year Award to Lieutenant Ralph Pata, provided special moments during the course of the event.
