Acknowledgements

Lorrie Pande would like to thank all the people who have helped Treasure Keepers become a reality, especially her daughters, mother, and late father for their loving support and assistance.

Daughter Emily, an Interior Design Major at Ringling College, helped design the shop, logo, business cards, and magazine layouts.

Alice, a film, theatre and TV actress from NYC, modeled for the shop and came in December to help decorate for our first Christmas in Asheville.

Dr. Maudie Pande, Lorrie's mother, has been an inspiration of hard work, family support, and a mentor in her love of history, travel, and storytelling.

Her father, the late Dr. Lawrence A. Pande Jr., was a true icon and entrepreneur in the business world, CEO and owner of PFM, now known as Chartwell's, a college food service corporation. Coming from the great depression, he believed that hard work and determination, while sharing kindness along the way, could make all things possible. Together, Larry & Maudie Pande lived the American Dream and Lorrie will be forever grateful for the gift of having had such loving and supportive parents.

She would like to show her gratitude to Elana Johnson and Paula Roemer of True Treasures, who have provided elegant and eclectic furnishings, decorating advice, and business council during the development of Treasure Keepers.

Lorrie would also like to thank her staff Kim Eargle and Ashley Black for their hard work, loyalty and dedication to help make Treasure Keepers a success!
