As my job was switching gears to bring in more local products, I have grown a real passion for shop local, shop small,” said Irene Cooper, Project Manager of Lake Region IGA. “This award from Rosie humbles me and also gets me excited for what the future holds! On behalf of not only myself but the entire Lake Region IGA family, I want to thank you for recognizing our hard work.”
