10 YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD
to
ANN RICHARDS
In January of 2002, Ann Richards began working as a part-time toll collector
at the Card Sound Toll Authority. In 2005, she was promoted to her current
position as a full-time Toll Collector.
From the beginning of her employment, it was evident that Ann was well
suited for the duties of this position. She enthusiastically welcomes each patron,
provides answers to their questions and thanks them for using the Card Sound
Bridge. New visitors to the Keys are directed to the Florida Keys Visitor Center in
Key Largo, and traveling canines are given a yummy biscuit that she provides at
her expense.
Ann grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and graduated from Grand Valley
State University. As is the case with many Keys residents, she visited our county
on vacation and decided that applying suntan lotion in winter surely beat shoveling
snow in the Wolverine state.
Ann, you are an asset to the Card Sound Toll Authority, Public Works and
Monroe County. We thank you for your 10+ years of outstanding and dedicated
service, and we hope you'll be with us for at least another 10 years! Keep up the
good work.
