Roseville Saturday Shout Out: Girl Gymnasts, Insurance Agency

Today, Roseville Patch is debuting a new column: Roseville Saturday Shout Out. 

This will be a weekly post recognizing Roseville's people, businesses and organizations for noteworthy accomplishments, honors and good deeds. 

In our inaugural post we are giving a shout out to two groups: The Roseville Area High School girls gymnastics team and the Macguire Agency. 

First, congratulations to the girl gymnasts for winning their second consecutive Class 2A state high school league championship. A few days ago, the Raiders edged out Northfield for the title; among the star performers was sophomore Isis Muller.  To get a flavor of what the Roseville program is like, click on to this Patch story from the 2012 season. 

Meanwhile, the Maguire Agency, an independent insurance agency offering property/casualty, employee benefits, and personal insurance lines, said it recently won the “Best in Class – Small Company” Community Impact Award by Minnesota Business Magazine.

Officials said the awards honor companies that make a positive impact on Minnesota communities. Maguire said it was chosen for its culture of continuous volunteer, monetary and material support for many community nonprofits.

“Our day-to-day support for Cradle of Hope, and regular food drives, coat collections and fundraising walks demonstrate that a even small group of people can make a big impact on the lives of those around us who may need a helping hand,” Maguire President Matt Clysdale said in a statement.  

The Best in Class – Small Company recognized companies with 50 employees or less that excelled at giving back to the community, Maguire officials said.

Do you know of someone or some company, business or organization that is deserving of recognition for an achievement, award or just plain old neighborly good deed?
