Special Delivery takes care of your menial, yet necessary, and time-consuming tasks. To name a few, we shop and deliver groceries, household supplies, pet supplies, gifts, and baby needs.

           The founder, Micki Ferik, is a former Quality Assurance and Operations Manager. Micki spent 6 years in Quality Assurance Management and an additional 4 years in Operations Management. On a part-time basis, she studied both Quality and Mechanical Engineering Technologies at Lakeland Community College. In 1998, she acquired a certificate in Quality Control Technology. Subsequently, in 2002, she received an Associate of Applied Science degree for Mechanical Engineering Technology studies.  

Long work days, working evenings and weekends, and a part-time college career left Micki little time to shop and run errands. Free time was almost nonexistent. As a result, Micki left her organization after nearly 15 years of employment to start a business to help others in the same situation. In other words, Special Delivery Services, LTD was started in effort to help other business professionals manage time. Who wouldn’t want to spend more time on family, friends, or recreation?

           Special Delivery Services, LTD not only helps business professionals, we are here for busy moms, single-parent families, dual income families, older citizens, and handicapped individuals. We also offer errand and courier services to corporations and firms. Why spend your valuable time waiting in lines and driving around town? Let us do it for you!

(orignal message from Lucille Wingard to Tracy Drogalus in an email dated 2/8/2006) 

If I may, I’d like to reminisce a bit and highlight a very important meeting that we held on May 9^th. It was the very first meeting for the Women of Wisdom.

A couple members shared their thoughts of the importance of ABWA, and how it has benefited their lives. I then introduced our topic, EQ (Emotional Intelligence), to the audience.

Our speaker Lauren Burnett, an expert on Emotional Intelligence, spoke on how we have the ability to sense other’s energy.  This sensing is powerful and can detect when we are being drained by others’ negative energy.  

So let me ask you the question … Do you have good EQ?

Everyone listened intently on the edge of their seats as Lauren explained how our EQ energy can be found within our hearts and minds.

I wanted to make sure we recognized Lauren and her wonderful presentation. It was an important day, and being our first speaker, she started the Women of Wisdom with such a positive experience!

If you want a positive charge, give her a call! Information about her can be found:
