Producers reach out

Aggregates operations always step up during times of national emergency. Maryland's Chaney Enterprises wasted no time in kicking off its Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The company's employees will roll up their sleeves Sept. 23 by sponsoring an American Red Cross blood drive. Chaney employees, family members, friends and the general public are invited to participate in the event that will include a baked-goods sale. To schedule a time to donate blood, please call 301-632-3001. Money raised from the purchasing of the baked goods and monetary donations will be matched by the Eugene Chaney Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Chaney Enterprises, and will go to providing much-needed relief to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Major kudos to Chaney Enterprises. (If your company is organizing a Hurricane Katrina relief effort, please let me know.) Your comment?
