A few weeks ago on a Saturday morning, some of our employees took a CPR training course, taught by Heart to Heart in Williamsburg. Equipped with coffee and breakfast, supplied by Subway, they learned how to manage illness and injuries during the first few minutes of an emergency until professional help arrives. This course included four …
Dads, Donuts, and Dump Trucks
George Nice & Sons had the privilege of hanging out with some awesome preschoolers at WCA last week. Ms. Dawson’s “Elephants” had a blast climbing into the dump truck, honking the horn, and checking out the neat backup camera. “We were studying the letter D and construction was our theme for the week.

Many business owners try to change this by creating new safety rules, or by leaving workers themselves with the responsibility of fixing the problem. But this isn’t always …
A Rise in Technology
