Dieterich served as the host for the latest in the Community Celebration of Excellence Breakfast series.

Wednesday morning's series focused on how technology such as social media, the internet and web-based applications can help build and improve businesses and enrich personal lives.

Three speakers with ties to Dieterich shared their thoughts on the process. Brent Emmerich is owner and web developer at ewebdzine.com, Alexis Teichmiller is a blogger and podcaster, and Alex Wright is marketing consultant at Wright's Furniture. All three speakers are graduates of Dieterich High School.

Emmerich has built more than 100 websites in the past three years, Teichmiller is heavily involved in online marketing and also is an author who in college operated an online women's clothing boutique, and Wright was a marketing specialist before returning to the family business that has operated in Dieterich since 1889.

Paul Romack of SRMD Solutions in Dieterich moderated the breakfast presentation.

The event drew about 350 people to Dieterich High School.
