‘Tis the Season…Already!

Rachel — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:26:19 +0000

The Nilfisk CFM office here in Malvern, PA always marks the Holiday Season with an annual Toys for Tots fundraiser that over the last 8 years has provided close to 400 toys for underprivileged children. But this year, we’re kicking it up a notch.

Each November, Brenda Lawhorne, Operations Manager and fundraiser organizer, asks the office to either donate a new toy or give $10 towards the purchase of a new toy. In exchange for our good deed, we get to wear jeans 2 times a week, a.k.a. Jeans for Tots. While Jeans for Tots is still on the agenda this year, Brenda (with the help of Janet Pietsch, Customer Service Manager) got creative and came up with Lunch for Tots and Goodies for Tots!

Lunch for Tots: Employees will be able to purchase homemade lunch on November 3rd and 17th. All proceeds will go to Toys for Tots!

Goodies for Tots: A bake sale will be held in December, date TBD. Yum!

In the past, we normally raise about $200 for the cause, but this year’s goal is $600..triple that! The Toys for Tots events have created a buzz around the office, and as of today, we’re well on our way to reach the goal! We’ll keep you updated!

About Toys for Tots

Through the gift of a shiny new toy, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation provides happiness and hope to disadvantaged children who might otherwise be overlooked this holiday season. In 2006, Toys for Tots delivered more than 19.2 million toys to over 7.6 million children.

When Life Gives You Lemons…

Rachel — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:02:28 +0000

This morning our office staff here in Malvern, PA, changed gears for a moment to kick-off 2 days of raising money for the local based charity, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which over the years has raised 19 million dollars for childhood cancer research.As staff gathered in our office kitchen that is filled with lemon-inspired decorations, lemonade, and more lemon dessert than you could imagine, our Marketing Manager briefly talked about the charity’s cause and Alexandra “Alex” Scott’s legacy (see below). Afterwards, people began to share their own stories about the people in their lives who were fighting the disease…a reminder that noone is immune. With a suggested donation of $10 or more, we hope to raise several hundred dollars and are already well on our way.

In an office where we are used to fighting contaminants, we are more than happy to join the fight against cancer, turning lemons, into lemonade…

About ALex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). At the age of 4, Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $19 million towards fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 80 research projects nationally including those examining leukemia, brain tumors, neuroblastoma, Wilm’s tumor, lymphoma, and osteosarcoma among others.

AIRCRAFT OVERHAUL PERSONNEL CAN BREATHE EASIER

Rachel — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:01:38 +0000

Aircraft overhaul is a dusty business. Debris is generated throughout the entire process and can create an inefficient and unhealthy work environment. A strong maintenance plan is key, which is why Nilfisk CFM, the world’s leading industrial vacuum manufacturer, developed portable central vacuum systems specifically for aircraft overhaul and corrosion control.

“The portable central vacuum systems are 100% customer-driven,” said Don McCarthy, Government and OEM Development Manager. “After a comprehensive site survey, each system is custom-built and can be used in a variety of aircrafts, from helicopters to F18’s to 747s. What’s most appealing about our systems is that they are easily assembled and maneuverable without yards of hose and cord getting in the way. They also eliminate the costs associated with maintaining several vacuums that are inefficient and take up space.”

Powered by a variety of three-phase vacuums ranging in HP from 5 to 30, Nilfisk’s portable central vacuum systems consist of transportable tubes that are easily erected within the airframe. The tubes are equipped with several drops that allow for up to 10 simultaneous users and access to hard-to-reach areas. When an aircraft is finished, the structure is simply taken down and moved into the next airframe project. In addition, the system allows for a wide range of options in order to meet the industry’s diverse cleaning challenges. Features include:

§ Adjustable, lightweight tube

§ Flexible conductive hose

§ Easy hook up to vacuum-assisted power tools

§ HEPA/ULPA filtration

§ Explosion-proof option

A diagram of the system and samples of tubing will be displayed at several 2008 aviation trade shows, including the upcoming Air Force Corrosion Conference. For more information or to schedule a free overhaul facility assessment, please visit www.stop-the-dust.com or call 1-800-645-3475.
