ARMY'S ARMY HAPPENINGS

VALENTINE'S DAY TRIBUTE TO OUR HEROES

On Thursday, February 14th, The Army's Army partnered with the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (FACVB) and Lamar Advertising for a nationwide Valentine's Day Twitter salute to our soldiers and veterans. For 24 hours straight we encouraged people to join in on an unprecedented show of support to honor our troops by using the hashtag #Tweets4Troops. For every #Tweets4Troops tweet posted that day, the FACVB donated $1 to support The Army's Army. The tweets were also displayed live throughout the day on digital billboards located in Cumberland County.

Check out the photos from this event.

John Meroski

This month we would like to recognize John Meroski, who is not only one of our biggest supporters, but a Co-Founder and current board member of The Army's Army. A native of New England and a graduate of Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI, he earned degrees in marketing and psychology. He holds his masters in business administration through the University of Phoenix.

For the last 12 years, Mr. Meroski has served as CEO of the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (FACVB) offices in Fayetteville. Under his direction, the bureau has undergone a complete reorganization and restructuring. As a result, the FACVB was named a "Shining Example" by the Southeast Tourism Society and given the designation of "CVB of the Year."

Currently, the FACVB is retooling its marketing products to be more inclusive of the Fort Bragg Communities that comprise Cumberland County in an effort to provide exceptional visitor experiences.

Prior to joining the FACVB, Mr. Meroski ran the Greater Bakersfield, CA Convention and Visitors Bureau. During his tenure there, the CVB was able to double its budget, create record levels of trackable tourism traffic, increase marketing revenues and support the construction of an 11,000-seat arena. Mr. Meroski has also held positions at the Greenville, SC Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Providence, Rhode Island CVB.

In his free time, he enjoys spiritual growth, reading, community involvement, exercise, movies and dining out.

For more than 50 years, SONIC® Corp. has built a dominant position in the drive-in restaurant business by sticking to what made drive-ins so popular in the first place: made-to-order American classics, signature menu items, speedy service from friendly Carhops and heaping helpings of fun and personality. Today, SONIC® is the largest chain of drive-in restaurants in America. As a business, it continues to thrive, maintaining strong real sales growth, industry-leading customer frequency and high returns for our stockholders.
