Chamber launches new website

The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce has launched a new website at www.naperville.net.

Congratulations Ray Jones 

The “Lifetime Achievement Award” is given to someone who has shown excellence in their profession, who has supported business and who has given above and beyond to our community.   This year’s winner is certainly worthy.

I met Ray Jones, owner of Friedrich-Jones Funeral Home, in 1980.  Being best friends with my employer, Carmen DiGiovine, Ray always came into our office with a warm smile.  I would joke that I loved seeing him, but not at his place of business.  I once mentioned how difficult Ray’s profession must be.  I’ll never forget Carmen’s response when he said, “Ray is a special person and that is the reason he is so good at his job.  His compassion and caring nature make him the perfect person to help those through the most difficult times of their lives.” [Read more]
