September = Back to School.   As students head back to school, PVS encourages our team to never stop learning – whether that be to take a class, advance their education, help in their community, etc. Learning is powerful. "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young." – Henry Ford  Nicholson Nine #6 We Never Stop Learning It's also time to applaud team members celebrating milestones. Congratulations to those reaching anniversaries in September 2024. Thank you for your teamwork, hard work, dedication, commitment to excellence, and doing what is right. You are essential!

PVS Ice Bucket Challenge

Wow! The generous support from the PVS family and friends was amazing especially during the 10th anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge. Together, we raised $6,840 just because of the PVS Ice Bucket Challenge hosted on August 6. In the end, we had a tie for 3rd place…so 4 leaders got iced and 1 got confetti. From the bottom of our hearts, the Charity Committee wants to thank the participants and everyone who donated. By working together, we hope to see a world without ALS. 1st: Eric Egan, Nolwood, Vice President of Commercial Operations 2nd: John Cannon, Minibulk and Transportation, President 3rd: Paul Pepin, Corporate, Operations & Facilities Manager 3rd: Matt Nowaczok, Corporate, Director of Finance, Tax, and Risk 5th: Andrew Stokes, Corporate, Director of Logistics & Supply Chain

The NFL Preseason kicks off today. A fresh slate for every team to ultimately determine who will be crowned the champions on February 9, 2025. Football is a team sport. No one player will carry the entire team – every player is a key component. Our PVS teams operate the same way – everyone is essential. However, it’s time to acknowledge some of our MVP’s – team members celebrating milestones. Congratulations those reaching milestones in August 2024. Thank you for your teamwork, hard work, dedication, commitment to excellence, and doing what is right. "When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality." – Joe Paterno Nicholson Nine #3 We are a family PVS AUGUST YEARS OF SERVICE MILESTONES Mark Radzwion: 25 years Charles Thompson: 20 years Randy Godbey: 15 years John Owens: 15 years Roger White: 15 years Allison Balling: 10 years Rudy Molina: 10 years Osvaldo Salazar: 10 years David Jaime: 5 years Cory Winder: 5 years

#IceBucket10 ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS—it robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. And what’s even worse is that right now, there’s no cure. It’s going to take all of us, working together, to finally see a world without ALS. 2024 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge. On August 6th at 1:30pm, PVS will host the Ice Bucket Challenge to support the cause and aid in finding a cure. Some PVS Leaders will get a bucket of confetti and some will get a bucket of ice cold water.
