2010 RECAP 2010 RECAP
ATLANTA
TRUCK WASH/BREAKFAST • Atlanta hosted a truck wash and breakfast
for their technicians and installers. While the office staff got their
hands dirty, their field employees lounged in the air conditioning
and enjoyed breakfast. Just a little way to say thank you for all
the hard work they do on a daily basis! (photo at right)
DONATED CELL PHONES TO RED CROSS • Employees collected
65 used cell phones to be donated to the American Red Cross-
Atlanta. If the phone is in good condition and still holds a market
value, it will be sold and the proceeds will go to the Red Cross.
If the phone is in good condition, but doesn’t hold a market
value, it will be sent to a women’s shelter or elder care facility to
be used for 911 call capabilities. If the phone is not working, it
will be scrapped and will be recycled for its precious metals and the
toxic materials will be kept out of the landfills.

Our division Team IMPACTs had a very successful 2010 year! Company-wide we held over 40 events.
You generously donated thousands of dollars, hundreds of food, toy, and other miscellaneous items, and numerous hours
of your time to support the causes that our Team IMPACTs chose. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments!
We recognize that it takes quite a bit of time and effort from everyone to be able
to accomplish all of this - without you there would be no IMPACT.
