Springfield Supporting Hurricane Clean Up
By Jill at Omni | September 17, 2008
Other than brand recognition of the companies represented, this blog has little to do with marketing. But I felt I should comment on an incredible scene that I witnessed this weekend. While driving back from a daytrip to St. Louis, I saw a convoy consisting of truck after truck after truck of our local utility companies and even a local tree cutting service heading down south to join forces in the clean up of Houston and Galveston.
What a sight! I had a moment of recollection after the March 2006 tornados hit Springfield, and how many out of state service trucks came here to help us. And I felt a real moment of pride as I watched our own city galvanizing our forces to help others!
People always find reasons to complain about the utility companies, or about our city services, but these people are doing what Americans do – rallying together in a time of need. Hats off to all those who are volunteering in seen and unseen ways to help out the victims of the hurricane.
