I was impressed at the support from many of you who traveled near and far to support the EESF! I personally would like to send a warm thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success! We raised enough money to educate over 56,000 kids. We look forward to next year's event when we hope it will be a little bit warmer and sunnier! Light on content this week but a couple of articles worthy of sharing with your colleagues. Next week there will be no show as I'll be on vacation. I'm looking forward to a week off in the Northwood's of Wisconsin where I'll be enjoying the great outdoors with my family. Thanks for listening to the show today everyone, be safe out there!

Sad news to report today, an elevator technician died in a work
related accident last week. This is a strong reminder that the work
that many of you do each and every day is extremely dangerous. Be
careful out there and make sure you’re doing everything possible to
ensure that you and those you work with each day come home safely. Let
this tragedy be your daily reminder to talk about safety each and every
morning before you start working on equipment. Take the time today to
visit http://safety.elevator-world.com/
as Elevator World has done an excellent job at providing safety related
materials. For those of you in the US, enjoy your Independence Day and
take a moment to remember those who have and are still defending our
freedom! Those of you in Canada, Happy Canada Day! Be safe if you're
traveling.
