BUD KONHEIM: Maria.

MARIA: Yes.

BUD: What is this?

MARIA: It's a wreath for the Architectural Digest, and this magazine is organizing a charity.

HATTIE: (VO) At Nicole Miller, the New York City fashion house, charity projects have their own room.

BUD: Those are puppies that are being trained for Seeing Eye dogs. So that's good.

HATTIE: (VO) Bud Konheim, Nicole Miller's partner says they never turn down a worthy request to help in their community.

BUD: All right, might as well do it the best way you can now. At least it's red white and blue. Okay.

HATTIE: (VO) Tere Zubizarreta is founder of Miami-based Zubi Advertising. She is a member of the Miami and Hispanic Chambers. She knows how to sell airline tickets, cars, wax, you name it to the men and women who grew up speaking Spanish at home or who call Spanish their first language.

TERE ZUBIZARETTA: My roots are in Cuba, that's my motherland, and the United States is my fatherland, so it's a pretty good combination what I have.

HATTIE: (VO) The walls of Zubi are a testimony to Terry's decades of service to the community.

TIM SWIES: She gives more than she takes, across the board. When I say she gives more than she takes, she gives more to the community, to all the committees not just the Hispanic community, to all the communities than she takes back.

HATTIE: (VO) When we needed help finding the best small businesses in the state of Maine, we turned to many of its Chamber of Commerce executives. Several of them met us at the Damariscotta Library where we came to tape some of their outstanding members.

HATTIE: (VO) Susan and Bill Menz run one of Maine's most celebrated B&Bs. Their Harpswell Inn at Lookout Point treats guests to plenty of good food and fun.

SUSAN MENZ: Here we go. Maine blueberry pancakes.

HATTIE: (VO) As members of their local chamber the leadership is happy to brag. This is Bruce MacMillan.

BRUCE MACMILLAN: Well Hattie we have 700 terrific members in our 15 services communities and we have the privilege of nominating some special small business people to be part of this broadcast. And the people that are with us today are we think examples of our membership. They are skilled in the business that they do. They're successful in making their products available and selling them outside of Maine and they're all examples of good corporate citizenship.
