ARMAC is proud to announce that Harmony Griffin, our Customer Service Manager received “The Eagle Award” from the North Carolina National Guard for her work on the National Guard Boot Campaign. The Boot Campaign supports troops and their families that have financial hardships during active duty. Harmony was quick to point out that it was the work of all the employees at ARMAC that made the campaign a success, she was just the conduit to make sure things went smoothly (like most things at ARMAC). Thank you Harmony for all your hard work and most importantly thank you North Carolina National Guard for protecting our freedom.

Boots for Troops

David — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 12:30:47 +0000

The North Carolina Petroleum & Convenience Marketers (NCPCM) is a convenience retail association in which ARMAC is an active and supportive member. NCPCM recently boasted a Media Day where members had a meet-and-greet with officers and support staff from the North Carolina National Guard. There was a presentation of the “big check” which represented money NC Convenience Retailers raised through the Boots Campaign for the National Guard. This program supports troops and their families that have financial hardships during active duty.

ARMAC was praised for its contributions to the Boots Campaign as it is the sole provider of printed boots and supporting marketing materials which go out to participating retailers. Over 40,000 boots have been produced already this year!

At the event the representatives from the National Guard gifted NCPCM with a painting of an actual battle that took place in Iraq. It turned out that one of the officers in attendance was in that battle and he shared his story with the group. It was very moving.

The last thing on the agenda for Media Day was a series of interviews that were videoed and showcased on the NCPCM website and on YouTube. Harmony, ARMAC’s Customer Service Manager, was featured in the showcase. You can check out the videos here:
