Live Long and Prosper

My dad was a big Trekkie when I was growing up, so I often heard the words, "Live long and prosper" followed by the unusual hand formation of the Vulcan salute.

Today, Governor Mitch Daniels was the speaker at my regular Rotary Club of Indianapolis meeting, and I had the great pleasure of meeting him. When I told him that I own a small, WBE-certified business, he inquired as to what kind of business it is and immediately wished me prosperity.

With Thanksgiving Day upon us, I find it especially timely to think about the word prosperity as defined by Merriam-Webster's dictionary: the condition of being successful or thriving.

Before we rush, rush, rush into December, I am reminded to exhale and be thankful for the support of my family and friends, the loyalty of our customers, and the good people of the Indianapolis community of which I am a fortunate part. For without you, prosperity is not possible; therefore, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and on behalf of all Trekkie's in the world, "Live long and prosper" to you too.

Dirty Work is Good Clean Fun



First of all, a big thank you to John Bragg Photography for capturing the wonderful sense of community and fellowship from the Concord Business Association (CBA) Fall Tree Planting which took place Saturday, November 20, 2010.

This tree planting would not have been possible without the generous, hardworking people at Indianapolis Downtown Inc., Indianapolis Power & Light, Kiwanis Club of Indianapolis, Rotary Club of Indianapolis, and the kids from the Concord Neighborhood Center. You will find the fruits of labor on South Meridian Street mainly between the I-70 overpass and Wisconsin Street.

As Vice President of the CBA, I am so proud that the A.G. Maas Company is located in this great downtown neighborhood. It was fun meeting new people, getting a little dirty, and making a small difference in this big world.

Yee Haw! Monumental Marathon Runs Past A.G. Maas Company


When Kellie Stewart from the organizing staff of the 2010 Monumental Marathon contacted me to see if we would mind supplying power to one of their entertainers this year, I jumped at the opportunity.

Check out Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band in this YouTube video. Can you believe he is only 13 years old? It was early and very cold, but those frozen fingers sure can play the banjo! Good luck Jeremy!
