My wife has been a Girl Scout leader (Brownies actually – it’s like Girl Scouts only the girls have Kool-Aid mustaches) for two years now and what a commitment it has been. Frankly, I’m not sure she knew what she was getting into, nor did I. To do it right, has meant spending real time preparing, getting to know the girls, gaining their trust and respect – and finally – leading. Often, it has meant giving, financially, and without so much as a “thank you.” The “thanks,” she says, comes in the form of smiles and measurable growth as good citizens and human beings. And she’s right, I’ve seen it! And THAT’s why I couldn’t resist blogging about Contact Telecom’s recent announcement to support Scouting programs in New Hampshire.
Contact Telecom recently partnered with the Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America (DWCBSA) to be a sponsor of the Third Annual Xtreme Descent taking place on Saturday, September 24. The event is an opportunity for individuals, groups and businesses to raise money to support Scouting programs in New Hampshire and get the once-in-a-lifetime thrill of rappelling down one of the state’s tallest buildings, the 24-story Brady Sullivan Plaza at 1000 Elm Street in Manchester.
“Contact Telecom is proud to serve the Boy Scouts of America program and help shape the future leaders of America through events such as this, which combine fun, educational activities with lifelong values,” states James Buttafuoco, Managing Partner for Contact Telecom. “Our commitment to our local community is resonant of our commitment to our customers – we take great pride in enriching the lives – and business – of others.”
Contact Telecom offers carriers and service providers its Billing Data Analyzer (BDA) solutions, which cost effectively automate data processing and efficiently manage invoice and usage data.
