Dear Owner/Operator

As we begin a new year, we want to take this opportunity to thank you and the food service staff at LOMBARDI'S for a job well done in 2001.

Each of our environmental health specialists make nearly a thousand visits to food service establishments in a year. Most establishments do a good job of maintaining a clean and safe operation. A few others, however, stand out as bright examples by striving to do an outstanding job of food service sanitation. Your establishment is one of those select few which continuously works hard to set the example for the rest of the industry. Too often your work is taken for granted and the praise you deserve is overlooked.

Your professionalism and the professionalism of the Lombardi's staff is much appreciated. Inspecting your facilities is more enjoyable because we know you and your staff are working partners with us to ensure good food AND public health protection.

Sincerely,
Ann Alfred
Environmental Health Specialist
