El Monte, California - 15 August 2002 - On August 15, 2002 the El Monte City Council honored M.C. Gill Corporation Founder and Chairman, M. C. Gill, by changing the name of the street leading to the company headquarters. This celebration was to honor Mr. Gill for the 42 years his company has been located on Easy Street in El Monte. During this period the company has demonstrated sustained growth and an impeccable record of community support. While the company maintains its famous Easy Street address, the section of the street that turns off Valley Boulevard is now officially Merwyn C. Gill Way.

In an event which drew an enthusiastic crowd of over 250 visitors, presentations were made by El Monte Mayor Rachel Montes and City Council Members Tony Fellow, Art Barrios, Jack Thurston and Ernest Gutierrez. They presented a metal copy of the new street sign, which was framed by being imbedded in one of the company's proprietary composite/balsa wood panels made in the M.C. Gill plant.

Company CEO, Kenneth Boudreau, provided opening remarks and introductions. M.C. was also given a letter from State Senator Gloria Romero's office.

Again note that the company mailing address remains unchanged.
