Team Brandywine Walk For Charity

RecycleMan — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:13:43 +0000

On Saturday, May 5th some members of Team Brandywine met at the National Harbor to walk for the National Kidney Foundation. We all had a blast and between all of us collectively we put on over 30 miles!!!! We still have a few spots left in case anyone else would like to join us, just give Dawn or Judy a call. Our next walk will be at RFK Stadium on June 9th walking for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

Very Happy Customer!

We received the following letter from a customer that was in need of a new engine. Instead of a few weeks in the shop we were able to install their engine within a few days so they could be back in business quickly!

We want to wish Carlton Adams a speedy recovery. Carlton suffered a heart attack on April 30th and is now at home recovering. Carlton works as a security guard at our locations in Upper Marlboro and Ft. Washington and everyone sends their well wishes to him.

Condolences go out to the family of Dwayne Davis, one of our delivery drivers here at Brandywine who lost his Mother after a lengthy battle. Our thoughts are with you Dwayne

There’s a new look at the Switchboard these days……Glinda and Mari have new windows to look out while taking those calls. Those big picture windows are a thing of the past. Even tho the installation was a little noisy, nerve wrecking and a bit messy they are looking forward to cooler summers and warmer winters with the new additions.

Congratulations to Danny Howe and his wife Nichole are the proud parents of baby Sophie Katheryn Howe born March 26, and was 29” and 8 lbs. She joins brother Daniel Jr.

Congratulations also go out to George and Doris Glovier who are the proud grandparents of new baby girl Kayla Anne Glovier, 9lb 10oz. born on April 7, 2012 to Jason and Camilla Glovier in Durham, NC. She joins brother Tyler Glovier.

Training Day at Brandywine

Every few months we get a request from the Prince George’s Fire Department to use our facility for training. Shown below are Aaron, John and Collins from PGFD using a car for jaws of life training. They are specifically trained on what and where to cut depending on where the vehicle’s impact point is and as we all know time is critical when trying to save a life. These guys are truly amazing!

Team Brandywine is Now Underway

Some of you saw on your paychecks Friday April 6th the announcement about the formation of a walking/running club for charity and Brandywine has graciously agreed to sponsor the team with contributions to the charities we walk for. Our first one is Saturday, April 14th for the “Walk MS” walk. There are other walks for charity that we are planning on, such as Juvenile Diabetes, the March of Dimes, and the Kidney Foundation walk. Please call Dawn Norris or Judy McFaden at 301-372-1000 if you are interested in joining. Not only will we be doing something good for a cause, but we will be getting FIT!!

Congratulations to Stephen Meinhardt Jr. and his beautiful new bride Brittany. The nuptials took place on the island of Jamaica and was definitely a family affair! We hope you’ll have many happy years together!
