Hand Sanitizer Stands
As we prepare for opening school in the fall we have run into shortages of various products such as toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc.  We have been able to locate a supplier for touchless hand sanitizer dispensers and floor stands at $140 each.  Rather than purchasing 100 of those stands, Plant Operations supervisor Jason Merrill is buying materials and fabricating the stands for approximately $16 each—a savings of over $12,000.  Thank you, Jason!
 
JROTC Cadet Receives S.A.R. Bronze Award
On May 23, the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) held a wreath-laying ceremony at the Transylvania County Courthouse.  After the ceremony, Colonel Larry Chapman (USMC), Color Guard of the Blue Ridge SAR Chapter, presented a Junior ROTC Bronze Award for Excellence to Cadet Staff Sergeant Alexis (Tenille) Leonard, a graduating senior at Rosman High School.  The award is given each year to a deserving cadet in recognition of outstanding leadership, military bearing, professionalism, and excellence—qualities “exemplifying the high ideals and principles which motivated and sustained our patriot ancestors.”  Cadet SSG Leonard was selected based on the recommendations of Senior Marine Instructor Colonel Scott Blankenship and Sergeant Major Thomas Hall from the Brevard and Rosman US Marine Corps JROTC unit.  Leonard is now preparing for her next steps this fall as a cadet in the Air Force ROTC program at NC State University.  Congratulations to Cadet Staff Sergeant Leonard!
