Congratulations to Diane Jurczak-Prue, who was recently promoted to the position of general manager at the Fingerlakes Mall. She has been employed by Jones Lang LaSalle, the management company of Fingerlakes Mall, since 2004 as the on-site property accountant.
Jurczak-Prue is a lifelong resident of Auburn. She attended Cayuga Community College and received a bachelor's degree from Le Moyne College in Syracuse. Currently she resides in Auburn with her husband, Tom, and son, Peter Dylan.
“I am excited about the opportunity to work with the local community and the tenants at Fingerlakes Mall,” she said. “I look forward to the upcoming holiday season, and the events we have planned here.
“There have been some positive staff changes at the mall, including the hiring of a full-time marketing manager and leasing agent. These additions will provide more opportunity to promote the Fingerlakes Mall to potential new tenants,” she continued. “I am glad to be a part of the future growth and progress with the mall and the surrounding area.”
Congratulations also go out to J.C. Penney department store, which celebrated its 105th anniversary last month. Store founder James Cash Penney opened his first Golden Rule Store in 1902 in Kemmerer, Wyo., and it was immediately successful.
Penney's Golden Rule of retailing was “to serve the public, as nearly as we can, to complete satisfaction.” The company motto was “Honor, Confidence, Service, Cooperation.” Penney's success continued to grow, and it is amazing to think that the small store he started in 1902 has grown into, and remains to this day, a major retailing force in America.
In addition to serving the retailing public, J.C. Penney believes in doing good works in the community. The J.C. Penney Afterschool Fund is “a charitable organization committed to providing children in need with access to life-enriching afterschool programs that foster their academic, physical and social development.”
According to the department store's Web site, #“The J.C. Penney Afterschool Fund also works to raise awareness of the benefits of afterschool programming, and is committed to ensuring that every child has access to the world of opportunities that awaits them after school.”
One of the more fun afterschool programs is the NFL Take a Player to School contest. Students can enter on the site or in J.C. Penney stores. Winners get to bring a real, live NFL player to their school for the day. Imagine how popular those kids are!
October means Halloween, and the annual Verizon Trick-or-Treat Parade will be held at the Fingerlakes Mall at noon Saturday, Oct. 27.
