The Whitley County Chamber of Commerce's Ambassador team recently honored Gonink Web Design & Print as the Chamber's August Business of the Month. Located just north of downtown Churubusco along U.S. 33, Gonink has been in business since 2005.
Gonink was chosen for this honor for its involvement in the community. Over the last five years, Gonink has donated time to several projects and worthwhile organizations.
Chris Tomlinson, owner and president of the business, volunteers for the local fire department. He created the volunteer fire department’s website, the Churubusco Chamber’s website and has participated in the annual Day of Caring for the United Way.
In addition, he serves on both the board of directors for the Churubusco and the Whitley County Chambers.
“Our business is always looking to give back when we can,” said Tomlinson. “We’re also very interested in speaking with other businesses who are just starting up or need a talented marketing firm, to help them with everything from business cards to websites.”
The Whitley County Chamber wishes continued success to Gonink. They will receive an ice cream cake courtesy of DQ Grill & Chill in Columbia City.
