Dr. Steven M. Miller of Wellington has earned the service industry’s coveted Angie’s List Super Service Award, reflecting an exemplary year of service provided to members of the local services marketplace and consumer review site in 2015. “It is truly special to be awarded this honor again for the second year in a row,” Miller said. “My staff and I do our best to make a
potentially uncomfortable experience into a pleasant one. This is our third honor in the last five years, having won it in 2014 and 2011.” Angie’s List Super Service Award 2015 winners have met strict eligibility requirements, which include an “A” rating in overall grade, recent grade and review period grade.

This is the 12th year that St. David’s Episcopal School has held the event, raising more than $14,000 over the years for the charity — a tremendous accomplishment for a small school due to its generous families.
