Thanks to your help, ABC was able to deliver
OVER 270 ITEMS
to the Community Resource Center for tornado relief, not including items from members and non-members who chose to donate pallets and truck loads directly in response to our drive.
In addition to these items, we sent all food items to Second Harvest Food
Bank of Middle Tennessee
by way of Brasfield & Gorrie who also collected items on their job sites. On Friday, Brasfield & Gorrie delivered
2,892 lbs of food to Second Harvest!
We know there are many others of you who have invested greatly into relief efforts over the last few weeks. Thank you for participating in these drives, on the ground, and beyond to help our neighbors in the community's time of need.

DALE CARNEGIE COURSE:
COMMUNICATING ACROSS GENERATIONS
|
This online workshop explores the differences between generations and provides insight into identifying with others.
Today’s workforce may comprise as many as four generations working side-by-side, so connecting with each other could present a challenge. Each generation has their unique mindset, work style, and ways of communicating. This being the case, working and communicating across generations has become vitally important to building a cohesive, productive, and successful team.

A dedication to excellence. The Wakefield Corporation was founded in 1986 based on this one principle and one principle only. Just as the construction industry has evolved over the last THREE decades. So has The Wakefield Corporation (TWC).
We are no longer just a drywall company, from metal stud framing, acoustical ceilings, exterior insulated finish systems to doors & hardware. TWC can handle any size project that might arise. We also specialize in pre panelized load bearing wall systems and the installation of composite metal decks and shoring systems. We utilize BIM software to help eliminate possible conflicts that might arise during the planning phase of the project.
