A THANK YOU from Refro Foods:
Thank you to each of you (there's a large number here, but we're not sharing email addresses for privacy issues!) for voting for Renfro Foods for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Year Award.





As I mentioned, there are two competitions going on --- the Community Excellence Award is a popular vote, and you have helped Renfro Foods receive a ton of votes. We will find out how Renfro Foods performed in this vote during the breakfast on May 22 at the annual conference in Washington, D.C.

Now here is the REALLY BIG NEWS: The U.S. Chamber has selected Renfro foods as one of just SEVEN NATIONAL FINALISTS for the Small Business of the Year Award. This competition is based solely upon merit and is separate from the popular vote.
The Renfro family will learn who the actual winner is during a luncheon on that same day, May 22.

Thank you for helping bring such honor to a great family-owned company right here in Fort Worth. We hope to be sharing some incredible news with you in about ten weeks.

Have a great and safe weekend!
