Baxter's Helping Hands
A group of 20 volunteers from the Baxter Finance Team recently helped us pack up our Westlake facility during our July remodel. These generous folks took time out of their work day to provide much-needed help with a not-so-fun (or easy) task. We want them to know that they are truly appreciated! "It was a wonderful experience; in one day the Team pulled together to make this happen," said Janie Merritt, who helped organize the volunteers. "This is a part of helping out and they are ready to do it again." |
