The man is constantly moving. He doesn’t stop all day unless he has to tie bowties on his Adidas Sambas (robust indoor soccer shoes). When he steps onto the soccer field the lights dim and he steals the limelight. His name is Albert and he is part of our Shipping team. The man can play soccer. Too bad he doesn’t play for our team.

CablesAndKits collects food for local families in need
Ever since our fearless leader talked about CablesAndKits reaching out to the community my mind’s been churning. What could I do to help? My schedule’s full and time is short.
