2008 Chamber Business Awards
The Jenison Chamber of Commerce named Computer House Calls its
business of the year and Chuck Schipper its business person of the year. Chamber President Jim DeVries said Computer House Calls received the
honor largely due to owner Dan Tomaszewski's anti-pornography efforts through the Children's Assessment Center and his assistance helping
Habitat for Humanity wire homes for computers and teach resident show
to use them. Chuck Schipper received the honor for his efforts forming
Harbor House, a group providing housing for adults with multiple
disabilities.
