Heart of Del Ray Award - VOTE Now

FROM THE DEL RAY BUSINESS ASSOCIATION:  


The “Heart of Del Ray Award” is annually presented by the Del Ray Business
Association during the Valentine’s Day holiday to the business that serves as
the heart and soul of Del Ray.  First we want to thank everyone that nominated a business -- almost 40 wonderful businesses were nominated making it very tough to narrow it down to just five.  Many of you also expressed your continued strong support for past winners which is such a tremendous compliment to them and reaffirms how lucky we are to have such great businesses in Del Ray.  

Now we are excited that you, our neighbors, customers
and friends will be determining the winner of this prestigious award. 
Selection should be based on which business best
demonstrates their warm and welcoming attitude to the
community/customers, their commitment and generosity to the community, and
to their overall contribution to what makes Del Ray the best place in the world
to live, work and shop!  In other words, what business warms your “heart”
when you here its name?
 
We congratulate and are honored to list the following five businesses that have
been nominated for the “2014 Heart of Del Ray Award”:
 
1)       Del Ray Pizzeria     
2)       Holy Cow/PorkBarrel BBQ
3)       Mind the Mat
4)       St. Elmo’s Coffee Shop
5)       Taqueria Poblano

We ask that you vote for just one business

“Heart of Del Ray Award”.  
You will be able to vote anytime between now and noon on Thursday, February 13th. 
Each household/computer can vote only once. Once votes are calculated and a
winner is determined, a large heart shaped award will be displayed on the winning

holiday.  We will also notify the various list serves of the winner so you
