CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESS
“ A Salute to Small Business”
Allen Yap & dad Keith Yap, recipients of
“California Small Business Award”
June 15, 2005, a local business in Eagle
Rock received a prestigious award from the State of California. About 370
people and over 60 State Legislators attended the awards luncheon at the
Sheraton Grand Hotel in Sacramento. There were a total of 80 Small
Business recipients from California honored.
E.T. Y. Parts Inc., a European and Asian
Foreign Auto Parts company located at 2144 Colorado Boulevard has been in
Eagle Rock since 1980. The award they received was the “California Small
Business Award.” What makes this significant is that only one business in
the 44th Assembly District receives this award. Carol Liu, the
Assemblywoman that represents Eagle Rock has a large district, she also
represents the communities of La Canada-Flintridge, Pasadena, South
Pasadena, Arcadia, Temple City, Duarte, Monrovia, Glassell Park, Highland
Park and Altadena.
This award is given to an outstanding small
business that represents the 44th District in a positive light.
Keith Yap and Allen Yap, father & son, the owners of this family business,
were given the award based on longevity of the business, use of technology
to enhance their business, community activism and the ability to bring
customers from other areas of Los Angeles to Eagle Rock to purchase their
products.
“Allen and his family represent what is
good about small business and is a positive attribut to the 44th
District”
On another note....The ERCC is very proud
of Allen and whole heartily congratulate him and his family upon receiving
this prestigious small business award. We also appreciate all of Allen’s
hard work as our Chamber’s 1st. V.P. on the Executive Board,
membership chair and web master.
