HUMAN INTEREST FEATURE
Paul McConnell: The Power of Education and Economic Development By: Alicia Talucci, BABC Coordinator
Paul McConnell is proof of the American Dream. The year is 1974, and Paul is graduating from the University of Delaware. Paul and his brother had just started their business McConnell Brothers Inc. Prior to officially starting their business, the brothers worked together in construction to make money. Upon graduation, they had enough funds to buy their first property, fix it up, and sell it. Then they bought two more. Within the first five years of working together, they had renovated more than 100 homes. Since then, Paul has continuously developed properties, and his development projects now total more than five million square feet.

MIND THE GAP
The Holidays… Let’s face it, they have come and gone, and it is now January. Shall we compare and contrast? Despite the some similarities between the US and UK during the holidays such as gift exchange, Christmas music, and the always highly anticipated Starbucks Holiday Cup, there are many differences that may surprise you between the two cultures. For example, the Language: “Merry Christmas” versus “Happy Christmas” and “Santa Claus” versus “Father Christmas.” The Food: ham or roast beef in the US versus turkey in the UK, and pecan pie or fruit cake versus Christmas pudding or mince pie.
Essential to the UK Christmas tradition, Christmas Crackers are virtually unheard of in the US. Christmas Crackers are a small cardboard container wrapped in bright paper that cracks when you pull them apart. Inside are goodies such as a paper crown, a joke or proverb, and a small toy. Perhaps you have enjoyed the Christmas Crackers we distribute at our Annual Holiday Lunch. These are just a few of the many traditions that vary from culture to culture. Please share any other US vs. UK holiday traditions you’ve experienced.
The first two people to submit their response to babc@chamberphl.com will receive one complimentary ticket to our NJ Networking Dinner.
