The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber recently presented the Island Spirit Award for the month of November to Marion Steele of the Orange Beach post office.

Marion's nomination had this to say about her, "Marion brings smiles and laughter to all of our customers in Orange Beach. She is quick to help anyone that needs it! She is great with our visitors and even better with our full-time residents."

The Island Spirit Award is presented monthly by the Coastal Alabama Business Chamber and has been a tradition since the mid1980's. The award was designed to give recognition to individuals who make special contributions to the quality of life we enjoy in the Coastal Alabama region. Leslie Haley chairs the Island Spirit Committee. Anyone can nominate a person they feel provides excellent customer service to our residents and visitors alike. Nomination forms are available online at www.islandspiritaward.com.
