business district in the Depot area.
  Dorothy's leadership in the community also extends to the two area 
businesses that she owns with her husband, Cabin Fever and AWESOME Pest

  I rise today to congratulate Dorothy Chiero, recipient of the 2007 
Charles E. Piper Award, for her efforts and positive influence on the 
Berwyn business community. It is my privilege and pleasure to 
congratulate Mrs. Chiero on this award and acknowledge her

well as all citizens.
