It is with great honor that we inform you of the selection of Lakeshore Engineering and Avinash Rachmale for the U.S. Small Business Administration’s National 2009 Entrepreneurial Success Award. This is a very distinguished award that reflects the diligent work and dedication of our company’s leadership and employees world-wide. Our President and CEO expresses his heart-felt gratitude to each of you for your important roles in helping the company achieve this honor.

If you have not already done so, please let Avinash know who deserving Lakeshore is of these awards, and how proud we all are to be part of this winning team.
