  • May 2, 2008:  Nothing is more refreshing than a company  that gives of itself.  As philantrhopic as Cork-Howard is as a company, the employees are individually just as generous.  Friday, May 2nd ended two very important internal drives that is totally employee directed.  One was a food drive for MUST Ministries.  The community shelter was running desperately low on life's basic necessity, food.  Employees collected non-perishable items for the drive and delivered them to the Marietta shelter on Friday.  Another employee drive was for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Memorable Luminary drive.  Employees remembered loved ones lost to cancer, as well as were able to honor those currently battling this awful disease by making donations to the lumiary drive.  CDH Partners, a local architect, gave the call and the employees jumped to the challenge.
