CC&A employees once again show their generosity
The employees of CC&A, both hourly and salaried, showed their caring again. Recently we held fund-raising events to benefit the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. This money was raised through the sales of burgers, hot dogs and brats at lunch times. You donated a total of $1,000! Keith Jones was instrumental in putting this together.
When we prepared to send the money, representatives from Sandy Hook sent out numerous emails and news reports stating that there had been such an outpouring of support from all across the United States that they did not need any more money. They did request that any additional donations be made to other deserving groups in memory of the Sandy Hook victims. Therefore, we have donated the funds to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey relief fund.
CC&A employees have always made generous donations no matter what collection takes place at plant entrances.
Our society is an everyday changing of events. When growing up there were always disagreements, but we didn’t turn to using firearms and assault rifles to settle them. Settlement was normally a fist fight. Whoever thought that sending your child to school, they may never return home?
There is talk of arming teachers and principals so they have some way to protect themselves and the children they are teaching. I couldn’t imagine receiving a phone call or hearing it on the news that the school was in lockdown because there was someone in there shooting teachers and five- and six-year-old children. As a parent this would be extremely hard to handle—children just getting a start, going to school to learn, get an education—and their lives coming to a sudden end. What a sad society we live in.
The leadership, hourly and salaried, thank everyone for their donations.
