solving our clients' challenges, one at a time

On Sunday, March 27th, two of our team members were present at the Emiliani Enterprises Annual Awards ceremony.

Carl Galasso accepting the Lou Cassese Award for Excellence

Organized by a dedicated group at Emiliani, led by Andre Chiavelli, VP of Sales and Corporate Strategy, the event was held in Atlantic City. Staff, manufacturer partners and invited guests were there to celebrate the accomplishments of 2010, with awards given for sales achievement and professional growth throughout the company.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was the presentation of the Lou Cassese Award for Excellence. This award, named for TSC North America’s visionary and past owner, was presented to Carl Galasso, President and CEO of Emiliani, for his support of the Emiliani Store Division and his contribution to the division’s growth over the years.

The award was presented jointly by Ed Szynalski, VP of Stores, and Tim Cassese, President of TSC North America, who is also Lou’s son.

In the presentation speech, Ed remarked that he wished that “everyone would have had the opportunity to work with Lou”. He added “I hope those of you who crossed paths with him are

thinking of him warmly tonight and that you’ll share a memory or two with someone who never met him.” If you have a memory you’d like to share, please post it here on the TSC blog.
