VTO Spotlight - Saroj Ghosh Helps Out the Muscular Dystrophy Association

By ATR International |   Thu, Dec 21, 2017 @ 09:00 AM

 

My time volunteering with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) was an amazing experience that I would encourage all people to take part in. You are probably familiar with their annual Labor Day telethon, and they also sponsor Bike-A-Thons, Muscle Walks, and other fundraising activities. Money raised goes to research but also funds things for children challenged by MD.

My daughter has been working with the organization for a long time; she first started working with the MDA in high school and loves working at the MDA Summer Camp. I’d been looking for an opportunity to give back to the community and she convinced me to get involved with the camp. It’s been a part of her life for the past 11 years, so I decided to sign up.

ATR International Partners With Toys for Tots

By ATR International |   Wed, Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:49 PM

What a great time of year this is! Each day seems to bring another holiday treat to tempt us or party to attend. Lights twinkle and decorations brighten the scene everywhere. For most of us the season is filled with opportunities for fun with family and friends, and amidst all the festivities, it is a time for celebration and reflection. It is a time to count our blessings and to remember those less fortunate than us. This year for the first time, ATR worked with Toys for Tots. Founded by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, the organization collects unwrapped gifts during October, November and December and distributes them to children in the community.

Giving Thanks for an Amazing Staff

By ATR International |   Wed, Nov 23, 2011 @ 02:41 PM

This week most of us will take a well-earned break to gather with family and friends to give thanks for our many blessings.  I’d like to first acknowledge and thank those who will not be relaxing on Thursday but will instead be on the job – our military personnel, police, fire and other safety workers, and those providing care and respite to patients in health care facilities.  I also want to take this opportunity to thank my employees for their hard work throughout the year.  ATR is successful only because of the many individuals who work together to serve our clients.  I am thankful and privileged to work with such dedicated colleagues.
