Downtown Recognition
Fourth Quarter 2011
The Bridgewater
Community
Development Corporation will honor
three Downtown Recognition recipients for the 4th quarter.
These are three relatively new businesses to our downtown business
district.
Chris Hoegle
is the proprietor of Treehouse Fitness. Chris has been a
personal trainer for 5 years and she does one on one training as
well as small group and Functional Fitness. Chris hopes to
begina Mother and Baby fitness program in the future. Chris
looks forward to getting involved with the Bridgewater Community
Development Corporation.
Jason
Bumblis is also relatively new to
Bridgewater. Pacers specializes in Web & Print Marketing.
Jason looks forward to being involved with the Community Development
Corporation as well. Jason has already taken the initiative to
assist with several of the events that Bridgewater continues to
offer residents and the public.
Finally, Michael and Lisa
Blackburn are the owners of CinnaRoasted Almonds.
Cinnamon Roasted Almonds are an age old snack thought to have been
originated by Bavarian Germans in the middle ages. The recipe
contained only three simple yet perfect ingredients. That is
why CinnaRoasted decided long ago to stick to that delicious medley
of cinnamon, sugar and vanilla.
The Bridgewater Community
Development Corporation is dedicated to renewing and sustaining its
central business district and its nearby residential areas.
Through its development committee, in cooperation with the community
at large, the BCDC seeks to revitalize its business areas by
utilitzing the Main Street Approach for downtown revitalization.
The Bridgewater Community Development Corporation would like to
welcome these three businesses and wish them much success!
Third Quarter 2011
The Bridgewater Community
Development Committee has chosen Jean Frey as its
3rd Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for 2011. Jean is being
recognized for her wonderful spirit of volunteerism and as a leader
in our community.
Along with her husband Larry of 42 years,
Jean has planted the flower planters in Bridgewater with seasonal
flowers along with business partner Bonnie Wright. This effort has
inspired a host of other Bridgewater businesses to keep up the
beautification of Bridgewater by maintaining their planters each
season. Individual attention to these kinds of details in our
downtown is what is needed toward our goal of making Bridgewater a
more attractive place to live and shop.
Jean has also been an
integral part of many important community life activities in town
such as Bookfest and Pumpkinfest. Somehow Jean manages to find time
to enjoy her two grandchildren and her favorite pass times of
painting, drawing, reading and yoga.
Through her leadership,
Bridgewater has enjoyed revitalization in the areas of business
development and community life.

The Bridgewater
Community Development Committee has chosen
Sharon Turek as its 2nd Quarter Downtown Recognition
recipient for 2011. Sharon is being recognized for the wonderful
spirit of volunteerism that she has demonstrated for the past 13
years.
In addition to being the
owner of “Without A Paddle”, she also dedicated her time as a member
of the Bridge Street Committee, the Bridgewater Business Association
and also the Bridgewater Community Development Corporation.
She has served as president, Community Life chair and
Architecture & Design chair.
Through her leadership, Bridgewater has enjoyed
revitalization in the areas of business development and Community
Life and façade improvement.
Sharon
is now preparing to move south for a well-deserved retirement.
We wish her many happy and healthy years!
