SCORE honors businesses with award

Gourmet on Wheels, Inc. and Comfort Keepers were awarded Client Of The Year honors at the annual banquet of SC Lowcountry Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) held last Saturday night at the Country Club of Hilton Head. These businesses were selected from those that had been mentored by SCORE and  have been in operation for at least two years.

Tony and Anna Makar began mentoring with SCORE in 2007 before deciding to open Gourmet on Wheels.  The company delivers prepared regular and diet meals throughout Beaufort County and some areas of Jasper County.  Jim Bequette and Paul Fuetterer of the Beaufort SCORE  office have maintained a continuous counseling relations with Makar.

Carol Waldo started a successful Comfort Keepers business in West Columbia and then decided to expand into the greater Lowcountry area by buying a franchise for the same business. Comfort Keepers help seniors live happy, independent and healthy lives in the comfort of their own home. These services are offered throughout Beaufort County. She maintains a continuing mentor relationship with SCORE’s Ron Baker, Dan Capazollo, Gene Sherman, and R.J. LeTourneau.
