Mrs. Dot Bishop

The Travelers Rest Area Business Association proudly announces Mrs. Dot Bishop as our 2008 Citizen of the Year. Sponsored by the Bank of Travelers Rest, this prestigious award recognizes one citizen each year who has worked consistently to make Travelers Rest a better place to live, work and play. Mrs. Bishop, formerly a teacher and guidence counselor at Travelers Rest High School, has worked diligently all her life to enhance the lives of those living in the North County area. Most recently, she has been the leader in gathering artifacts for the Bicentennial celebration of our City, and has been most instrumental in the organization of the new Travelers Rest Historical Society, who's goal is to preserve our past for our future.

Please join us in congratulating Dot Bishop as our Citizen of the Year, 2008.

I want to thank everyone for such a warm welcome into the Travelers Rest Business Association. I am so excited to be a part of an organization that supports the community and encourages new and older businesses to grow and prosper. I have recently accepted a sponsorship from Aflac to become an agent and could not have asked for a better company to represent. I find it very easy to talk to people about Aflac and what they can do to help them when they need it the most.

I lost my mother to Cancer and I’m sure that most everyone has been affected either directly or indirectly by Cancer. It is the most financially devastating disease there is and  Aflac offers the best cancer policy I have ever seen. I have seen it help a friend so she could concentrate on getting better instead of how she was going to pay her mortgage payment, or travel to receive the treatments she needed. Though sadly I had to watch another friend lose her breast, her husband lose his job from taking off work to be with her and then they lost their home because they couldn’t make the payments. So yes I believe in having Aflac and really don’t understand any hesitation to bring it into your business to take care of your employees.  I believe if you take care of your employee’s they will take care of you and your business. I hope I get the chance to tell you about Aflac, everyone knows the duck but few know exactly what we can do for you and your business.
