Vigon Presents the Pocono Alliance with $10,000
Vigon recently presented the Pocono Alliance with $10,000 for its Tax to the Max Educational Program.  As part of this program, the
Pocono Alliance offers tuition assistance to children from financially eligible families wishing to attend approved Keystone STAR pre-school facilities. This program allows businesses to invest their tax dollars in their local community and benefit the community’s children.  “Through Vigon International’s generous contribution, we can continue to see that every individual has the opportunity to live a healthy, safe and meaningful life. Pocono Alliance is very grateful for Vigon International’s participation,” said Michael Tukeva, Executive Director of the Pocono Alliance.

An (Early) Yipppeee! Thanksgiving!
In celebration of reaching our October Sales Goal, we were treated to our traditional sales goal lunch however we decided to put a different twist on it this month, and we celebrated with a traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, carrots, and of course, Apple and Pumpkin Pie!

Vigon Sends Care Packages to Our Troops
In an effort to honor and help our
troops serving overseas in the various branches of the US military, the Vigon team has been sending care packages to them that contain practical items that they may need as well as some of their favorite foods from the US that they may miss. We have set up collection bins in our cafeterias for the Vigon team members to contribute items to, and since July, the team has sent out 8 boxes to various locations in Afghanistan.
