The North East Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the recipient of this year’s Outstanding Service Award. Each year, this award honors an individual or organization for their continuing commitment to North East and the betterment of the community.

This year’s award will presented to Sam Rizzo Jr., owner of C & C Printing in downtown North East. The praise given for Sam during the nomination process was abundant. Members are consistently impressed with his commitment to North East and his dedication to those in his community.

“I have continuously seen Sam give generously to this community without ever expecting anything in return,” said Michael Spellman Jr., the NEACC Member who nominated Sam for the award. “He frequently donates his time, money and expenses from his print shop to local charities and people who organize fundraisers for others who are sick or in need.”

Sam has been President of the Club of the Brotherhood of St. Joseph for 34 years and has been the owner of C & C Printing in downtown North East for 22 years.
