MANY, MANY THANKS!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mike King for all of his efforts and dramatic, but hilarious reminders to bring in food and helping this department raise 1,115 pounds of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank. Also, we would like to thank every team member of our department in helping us to raise this much food.

In addition to Mike's sincere thanks, we would also like to send out our appreciation to the Electrical Section: Mark Tighe, James Gadson, George Brendle, Bob Smith, Tim Myers, Tracy Phillips, Jerry Burke, and Richard Dees, who were the department winners by bringing in food, but additionally hosting a pancake breakfast to provide us with 390 pounds of food. Each member of the Electrical section received a $10.00 Walmart Gift Card, but that didn't stop their generosity. Each of these gentlemen donated their $10.00 gift cards back to Mr. King who then purchased enough food to feed a Karenni refugee family of six (6) for two weeks.

This is a great example of teamwork among our Electrical section and the Inspections Department, and also great example of teamwork and effective communication by Mike King.

Kudos to everyone of you!
