Veterans Day

It was another busy day at the office this morning. The team has been hard at work over the past week preparing for a big event coming up. Our customers loved their experience with our product and have indicated that they would happily recommend it to others in need of assistance. We are excited about our upcoming project and look forward to serving them as they continue to deal with various issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We were delighted to receive a $50 donation from one of our loyal customer support agents. Since we began receiving donations from community members, we’ve decided to take advantage of these generous contributions and utilize some of those funds to keep our business growing. This funding is just one example of how our employees are able to provide services for people in need. These kinds of efforts are an important part of why we offer great value in how we relate to our clients. Helping other people gives us joy and inspires us to do even more.

We encourage you to donate by clicking HERE. You can also make a difference with your time by visiting VETERANS DAY 2021 (Vet Day) Facebook page or Twitter account. There are ways you can help too. Simply fill out a form and pay attention to instructions. Please remember to follow CDC guidelines when celebrating veterans day. If you feel uneasy about doing so while sick, do not wear masks around them. All non-U.S. citizens must mask up whenever around someone who is wearing a mask. Many businesses and organizations may be open during the holidays, but it’s always best to call ahead of any planned events to ensure the safety of your guests before coming to the location. Most importantly, don’t allow children under the age of five to be near the door or in rooms where there isn't enough room for everyone.

Happy Holidays!

The Office of Mayor Steve Williams wants to remind city residents that Veteran’s Day falls on Monday, October 15th. That means many local residents are spending more than three days on holiday. In fact, if you aren't able to celebrate right away, the holiday comes back twice in January. So it's not just something that happens once year, but rather every two years. While most Americans think of Thanksgiving as a feast centered on turkey and stuffing, a large group of service members spend time working long hours to serve our country. On World War I end, we came in the trenches, fought battles at Pearl Harbor and Normandy, and defended liberty by standing strong during times of trouble. And as each month passes by, we come together to protect and preserve our freedoms for future generations. As veterans ourselves, it feels especially meaningful at home to give back to the community where we served and live.

As a public servant, we know all too well what sacrifices our military service partners make. One way we show appreciation for the brave men and women who put themselves between us and danger or injury is through Giving Back. Give Back is an American tradition that encourages Americans to voluntarily contribute money and time to causes important to them. Whether it’s supporting your favorite charity or sponsoring a fun activity for kids, giving Back should never feel like a chore. For both of these reasons, the Federal Reserve, USAID, Department of Defense and National Guard Service offers programs specifically designed to support the Veteran population’s needs. Visit www.giveback.gov for information.
