 From financial support, to the many individuals who baked homemade side dishes for us, it was all smiles at Bethesda National Naval Center as we served dinner - except maybe for Vanguard's own V.I.P., Manager of Engineering & Energy Services Brandon Turley who selflessly and cheerfully donned the turkey costume (generously donated by Gene's Costumes), and endured the warmth this role required. His "Disneyworld"- like, never out-of-character on the front end attitude is what events like this are all about for us!
A special thanks to all of the businesses who share our communities, and share our gratitude for the men and women in uniform and their families. Some of those companies are: The American Occupational Therapists Association (A.O.T.A.), The Bernstein Companies, Bethesda Smiles, Boston Market, Branded 72 Pit Barbeque, Clark Construction, the Gazette of Politics and Business, Food, Wine & Company, Gene's Costumes, Get the Best Painting, Inc., Giant Food, Gold's Gym, High Point Catering, J&M Landscaping, JDR Towing, Jonathan's Sports Pub, Member Car Services, Papa John's Pizza/National Capital Area, Regal Entertainment Group, Scandinavian Import Servicenter, Sport&Health Clubs, Solutex, Inc., TPO, Washington Deli, the Washington Redskins Organization, Wegman's, Washington First Bank, Zoe's Kitchen, and a very special thank you to the students at Flower Valley Elementary School for the lovingly made cards, and to the American Occupational Therapists Association, for providing us with enough funding to give the hospital 4 Hewlett Packard Netbooks. The soldiers who are too injured to leave their hospital beds to use the computer center will find their stay a little easier by being able to use these to send emails home! Some colleagues who reached out in support of the event include Graham Cohen of BISNOW, Danielle Melus of DCBIA, and many Vanguard and A.O.T.A. employees who also made a financial contribution. Thank You Everyone, and Happy Holidays! |
