Marvel Cup Award Recipient is Named by Delaware State Chamber of Commerce!

It was certainly an honor to have attended the annual Marvel Cup Award dinner with my husband, Tommy Cooper , Chairman of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, last night in Wilmington, DE. The Marvel Cup Award was established in 1951 to honor a Delawarean who has made an outstanding contribution to the state, community and society. It is named in memory of Josiah Marvel, who reorganized the Chamber of Commerce and was the first president of the modern-day chamber in 1913-1914. Each year, the Chamber honors a deserving recipient, and this year Mr. Robert F. Rider was that recipient.

I enjoyed being a part of the celebration at last night’s event, and I am proud of my husband, Tommy Cooper, for the speech he made and for his part in a successful program!   Last night’s event marked the completion of Tommy’s term as Chairman of the State Chamber.  He turned his gavel over to William Allan, retired President of Verizon Delaware.  During Tommy’s speech, he challenged all of those in attendance to continue working to make a difference in the growth of Delaware.  It’s a challenge that everyone gladly accepted.
