Passionate About Giving Back
I am a firm believer in the importance of volunteering as a community service endeavor.  The act of sharing time and effort in this way, though it is seen as a benefit to the recipients, actually does a lot more for me. For the last ten years,  I have been a part of a team that prepares and serves Saturday breakfast to those in need. Not only do I have the pleasure of sharing great food with our guests, but it also helps us foster a sense that we are all “in this together.” While giving back financially is always an appreciated act, what I find life-changing is actually rolling up my sleeves through charitable projects. 

“The basis for selection of contract furniture should be a combined evaluation of aesthetics, function, quality, cost and most importantly, service.”
