There is no way we could let National IT Professionals Day go by without shouting out our very own Mark Tooley! 💻👏

Mark’s phone rings off the hook, and we know exactly why. He knows all the things, helps whenever he can, and tries his best to keep everyone moving when technology decides not to cooperate. 😅

Our day-to-day business would be a whole lot harder without Mark’s knowledge, patience, and willingness to jump in and help. We are so grateful for everything you do, Mark!

Happy National IT Professionals Day!

September 11th continues to hold significant meaning in our country.

Today, we remember the lives that were lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders, service members, rescue workers, and everyday people who displayed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We honor the stories of sacrifice, including those of the passengers aboard American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93. We also recognize the countless acts of bravery, kindness, and selflessness that followed in the hours, days, and months afterward.

Though it has been 25 years since that tragic day, we will never stop honoring those we lost, remembering those who gave so much, and carrying forward the unity and compassion our country showed in the aftermath.

If you feel moved to share, we’d be honored to hear what you remember about that day, where you were when you first heard the news, or what reflecting on September 11th means to you today.

Some good news out of Sioux Falls this week: the Mobile Market is back. 🥕

Seven weekly stops, fresh groceries brought straight into the neighborhoods, and a manager who calls the whole thing her baby. Worth the read.
