The awards were flowing at the end of the month. We stopped in to Open Door to hand out our next award, which was voted on by YOU!
So, we've already awarded two crucial parts to our community: Our Students (the future) and our Voices (bloggers). But, no community can truly thrive without one key element. Did the title give it away? I figured. Yes, you were right if you said Local Businesses! Therefore, we took the pleasure in holding a vote for the Best Local Business in 2011 in the Limerick, Royersford and Spring City area. We had some amazing nominations, including a historic ice cream shop, a famous breakfast shop, a cozy little coffee hangout, a brand new farm and an antique store. The voting in this competition was the absolute tightest of all of the polls. And with 708 of the 1,411 votes cast, Open Door, located on Main Street in Royersford, won. "[We're] …

Keller Williams Realty, based in Limerick, has three core beliefs in its business practice: God, Family and Business.
Keller Williams Real Estate made a direct impact on the community of Limerick back in June when it collected donations of food and money in the amount of $6,650 for "Operation Backpack." It also conducted a blood drive the same day with a turnout of over 30 participants for the "Miller-Keystone Blood-Bank." This was the first year the business held the event supporting children of needy families by collecting food and money donations to help keep children fed over the weekend. Qualified children in the program are given a backpack on weekends when they leave local schools filled with food to keep them fed until they return to school the following Monday. On Sept. 27, Keller Williams will also be holding its ninth annual golf outing to …
