Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac donates $500 to Boys & Girls Club as part of “Win a Free Car Night” at Plymouth Pilgrims

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s John Fasolino presents a check for $500 for the Plymouth Boys & Girls Club at the Plymouth Pilgrims game on June 17. The donation was the consolation prize as part of the Win a Free Car night. Also pictured are Plymouth Pilgrim’s Owner Dave Dittmann (left) and Pilgrims GM Chris Patsos.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac, decided somebody was going to be a winner at the “Win a Free Car” night at the Plymouth Pilgrims last week. So when the fan selected to try and win a 2013 Silverado came up short in his effort to hit a ball off a tee out of the park, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac donated $500 to the Plymouth Boys & Girls Club.

“It would have been great to give away a brand new truck but for somebody who’s not an active baseball player hitting a ball off a tee is hard enough without having to drive it more than 300 feet to get it out of the park,” said Tracy. “We decided somebody was going to walk out of the park with something and I can’t think of a more worthy cause than the Boys & Girls Club.”

The Plymouth Pilgrims’ Owner Dave Dittman and General Manager Chris Patsos accepted the check on behalf of The Boys & Girls Club. John Fasolino of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac presented the check on behalf of the dealership. Fasolino, who drove the Silverado onto the field for pre-game ceremonies, also had the honor of throwing out the first pitch along with Massasoit Community College’s Charlie Wall.

“The Pilgrims have brought a lot of energy to Plymouth and we’re delighted to be a sponsor and help bring this level of high-caliber of baseball to town. And, if that relationship can help out another local non-profit like the Boys & Girls Club along the way, that’s even better,” added Tracy.

So easy at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac

For more than 80 years and three generations of dealers, the Tracy family has made it so easy for customers on the South Shore and greater Plymouth area to purchase new and used automobiles. Since its beginnings in 1992, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has emphasized first-rate customer service and straightforward, bottom-line pricing with fair trade-ins every time–without the games or gimmicks you find at other dealerships. For more information on new and used trucks and automobiles, you can go to www.tracymotors.com or stop by the dealership, conveniently located at 137 Samoset Street, just off exit 6 on Route 3.

A donation with some teeth to it. Weymouth dentist donates filing cabinets to Raisin in the Sun Foundation

Dr. Rick Wolfert, AKA “The Toothboss”

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA…

Dr. Richard Wolfert, DMD, thought switching from paper to electronic files would not only make his South Weymouth dental practice run more efficiently but be greener as well. What he didn’t realize was how his conversion could benefit fellow dentists thousands of miles away in Haiti. Yet that’s exactly what happened as he donated to his filing cabinets to the Raisin Foundation.

Wolfert, also known as “The Toothboss”, heard about the Milton, MA-based non-profit from a fellow National Guardsmen, Dr. Fidel Gabriel. The Haitian native told him of the organization’s efforts to get supplies to start a dental practice in Leogane, Haiti. Wolfert inquired as to the types of items the Foundation would accept and mentioned his filing system and the rest is history.

“The filing system itself costs approximately $2500 but the benefits of going paperless far outweighed the cost. To find an organization like the Raisin Foundation that could benefit from the donation of the filing system was icing on the cake. The fact it was going to help a dental practice was the cherry on top,” said Wolfert.

The Raisin Foundation is dedicated to collaborating with the people of Leogane, Haiti to improve the physical and mental health of the community and assist in the economic and technology development.

“As you can imagine, the equipment and technology that we enjoy and perhaps take for granted here in the U.S. aren’t available in remote places like Leogane,” said Wolfert. “I encourage dentists, doctors and other health care professionals to visit The Raisin Foundation’s website to see if they need other items. One man’s upgrade is another’s treasure.”

For more information, visit RaisinFoundation.org.

About The Toothboss

The Toothboss offers: comprehensive examinations (written treatment and treatment plan provided); cosmetics; crowns, bridges and tooth-colored restorations; partial and full dentures; periodontics (early cases treated); oral surgery; restoration of conventional and small diameter implants; and emergency services (24-hour emergency phone number available).

The future of dry cleaning comes to OKC. Lapels Dry Cleaning opens at 13801 North Bryant Avenue location.

Owner Brian and Stacy Culver in front of the new Lapels Dry Cleaning store located at 13801 North Bryant Avenue in Oklahoma City, OK.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK and HANOVER, MA…

Lapels Dry Cleaning, an innovative, environmentally friendly dry cleaning company headquartered in Hanover, Massachusetts, will open a new location on June 22 in Oklahoma City at 13801 North Bryant Avenue. The OKC location represents the first Lapels Dry Cleaning location in the state of Oklahoma.

The new Lapels Dry Cleaning store is owned and operated by Brian and Stacey Culver. Store hours are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 7 pm; Saturday 8 am to 5 pm; and Sunday, 12 pm to 3 pm. The grand opening for the new Lapels will be held on July 20.

“We are delighted to bring Lapels’ standard of high quality dry cleaning and superior customer service to OKC,” said Brian Culver, who lives with his wife Stacey and their four children in Logan County.

A graduate of the University of Richmond, Culver had served as a helicopter pilot in the Navy, including combat stints in the Persian Gulf before entering civilian life and working for Country Financial. After growing up as a “military brat” and living that same life, Brian and Stacey opted for a little more control of their destiny by owning their own business.

“There are a number of franchises out there that offer discounts for veterans, but we wanted to make sure we selected a business that was right for us and our family. Since I have some background with restaurants and Stacey’s background is in retail, we looked at some restaurants and some other dry cleaners. Lapels struck us as a young and growing company that does things a little differently and is constantly looking for ways to improve and innovate,” said Brian.

Lapels has pioneered its eco-friendly dry cleaning experience for the past 10 years.  Using the latest technology in equipment and cleaning solution, Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners in the greater OKC area able to boast that there is no hazardous waste in their process. Their environmentally-friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes. At Lapels you can see, feel and smell the difference.

Lapels customers are greeted to a warm and inviting reception area, with friendly customer service representatives, and a full service on-site tailor.

“We want to congratulate Brian on blazing the trail for Lapels Dry Cleaning to enter the state of Oklahoma. We look forward to continuing our support at the corporate level to help ensure the success of this Lapels Dry Cleaning and perhaps future stores down the road,” remarked Lapels Dry Cleaning CEO Kevin Dubois.

Lapels offers it’s customers Automatic Rewards earning them credit towards free dry cleaning for every dollar they spend, Loyalty Programs, a VIP Program which eliminates the need to wait in line and the use of a 24 Hour Drop Off Service. Same day service is also available with pick-up after 5 pm.

North students stack DECA…Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac recognizes Plymouth North’s driven marketing students.

: Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac General Manager Joe Wilkerson with award-winning Plymouth North Technical Studies Marketing students and their advisor Barry Cowgill and Vice Principal A.J. Butters.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

The original Godfather movie made famous the line, “It’s not personal, it’s just business.” For Plymouth North Technical Studies Marketing students participating in the DECA competition, however, business was personal. And taking it personally resulted in 14 students making it to the international DECA career development competition held in Anaheim, California on April 23-April 28, 2013. For that accomplishment, those 14 students received the Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Driven Student of the Month award for May.

“DECA is an international organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe,” said Barry Cowgill, advisor to the Plymouth North marketing students. “While it’s impressive enough that we had that many students make it to the international competition, three of those kids—Frank Gomes, Leif Burges and Calvin Ellis—won first place in the Knowledge Matters Virtual Business: Restaurant Simulation Event.  They beat out thousands of teams from all over the world.”

For being selected Driven Students of the Month, all 14 students were treated to a pizza party, courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. Students recognized included:

  • Frank Gomes
  • Calvin Ellis
  • Leif Burgess
  • Ben Pieroni
  • Shawn Westcott
  • William DiGravio
  • Catherine Achille
  • Nicole Varrasso
  • Kiley Schranze
  • Victoria Gilmore
  • Anna Colbert
  • Sarah Liscov
  • Ryan Boudreau
  • Matthew Moore

“We may be in the business of selling automobiles, but marketing drives that business. So, we have a solid appreciation of the accomplishments of these students and they are most worthy recipients of the Driven Student of the Month honors,” said Joe Wilkerson, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac general sales manager.

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

Volunteers needed for third annual Run for Faith 4-miler, August 11

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Volunteers play an important part in any road race. That’s been particularly true for the Run for Faith, a four-mile road race set in Plymouth, Massachusetts—the first Run for Faith took place right before Hurricane Irene. The Run for Faith recently announced the need for additional volunteers for this year’s third annual race, set for Sunday, August 11.

“There would not be a Run for Faith if it were not for our volunteers. Their love and affection for Mom carried us through the first race where we literally finished as Hurricane Katrina began,” said Matthew Romboldi, Run for Faith organizer and son of Marcy “Faith” Romboldi, in whose memory the race is held. Faith lost her battle to ovarian cancer in 2010.

Added Matthew,“Volunteers for this race either are family or like family. And in our family, there’s always room for more.”

Volunteers are needed to man registration tables, water stations and other day-of-race functions. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Matthew Romboldi at 508-400-0751 or info@runforfaithplymouth.org.

The third annual Run for Faith 4Miler, which is a gold member in the Bayside Runner Racing Series, will take place on Sunday, August 11 at 8:30 a.m. at historic Plimoth Plantation. Entry fee is $25 – which will once again go to scholarships for Plymouth high school students, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the Plymouth Public Library and other Plymouth charities and non-profits (Last year’s Run for Faith resulted in two $2,500 scholarships for graduating Plymouth North and Plymouth South high school students; The Run for Faith also contributed $5,000 to Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care).

The Run for Faith’s four-mile race loop includes spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay, the Eel River and scenic horse farms. The course features rolling hills and unmatched history.  Water stations are plentiful and the event is professionally timed by Spitler Racing Systems. Prizes will go to top finishers, male and female, and awards will be given to top finishers for various age groups, including a Stroller Division.

The Run for Faith is organized by Run for Faith, Inc., which is 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to commemorate the special life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi who gave so much of herself to both individuals and the community.

Interested sponsors can contact Matthew Romboldi at 508-400-0751. For more information, please visit www.runforfaithplymouth.org, or email info@runforfaithplymouth.org. You can view the course online at: http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/42074524.

South Shore Skin Center Announces 2nd Anniversary of Skin Cancer Mohs Surgery Unit & New Surgeon

Navid Bouzari, MD, Board Certified Dermatologist and Mohs Micrographic Surgeon

South Shore Skin Center celebrates the second anniversary of their Skin Cancer Mohs Surgery Unit located at One Scobee Circle in Plymouth, and announces the addition of Navid Bouzari, M.D., Board Certified Dermatologist and Mohs micrographic surgeon.

As one of only two Mohs micrographic surgical centers for skin cancer in Southeastern Mass., the Skin Cancer Mohs Surgery Unit offers the highest level of skin cancer care for patients located on Cape Cod and south of Boston. The treatment center is led by Richard F. Eisen, M.D., a Board Certified Dermatologist and highly skilled Mohs micrographic surgeon.

Dr. Eisen is joined by Navid Bouzari, M.D. a Boston-trained Mohs micrographic surgeon. Dr. Bouzari is certified by the American Board of Dermatology and is on staff at South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth and Jordan Hospital in Plymouth. He is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American College of Mohs Surgeons, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, the Women’s Dermatologic Society, the Massachusetts Medical Society and the Melanoma Skin Cancer Committee of the American Academy of Dermatology. He is an internationally published author on dermatological issues and diseases.

The Skin Cancer Mohs Surgery Unit is conveniently located, reducing the need for patients on the South Shore to travel long distances through high traffic areas to receive Mohs surgery. Appointments are scheduled in a timely manner to minimize wait times for patients awaiting skin cancer treatment. The 2,780 square foot surgical center houses seven surgical suites, a histotech laboratory, nursing suite and a spacious reception area. On-site free parking is available. New patients and referrals are accepted.

The Skin Cancer Mohs Surgery Unit works closely with a patient’s primary care physician or dermatologist to ensure the highest level of communication and care in the treatment and management of all types of skin cancer.

About Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Mohs micrographic surgery is special skin cancer surgery performed at the Skin Cancer Mohs Surgery Unit that is very precise and removes the least amount of tissue to remove the cancer with the highest cure rates. This type of surgery is used to treat basal and squamous cell carcinomas as well as melanoma. It is ideal for skin cancer on the face, instances of recurring cancer and large or ill-defined areas of cancer.

“The number of cases of skin cancer is rising rapidly in the greater Boston area, particularly on the South Shore,” explained Dr. Eisen.

He continued, “The Skin Cancer Surgery Unit is well-situated at the half-way point between Boston and Cape Cod and conveniently located at exit 7 off Route 3. Our accessibility and our ‘no wait list’ for skin cancer surgery are a couple of reasons why we’ve been so successful.”

South Shore Skin Center is a unique team of physicians, physician assistants, nurses, medical assistants, surgical assistants, and licensed aestheticians who are all specialists in dermatology and share a passion for excellence and a commitment to providing the highest level of care to both children and adults in the greater Boston area.
