On Wednesday, January 16, 2013 top members from Garda Cash Logistics, came together in south Florida for a team building exercise. Part of this exercise was to make and create stuffed animals. Over 100 members were divided in teams who stuffed, sewed and dressed their creations. When they were finished teddy bears, monkeys, piglets and cows were transformed into beautiful huggable stuffed animals. These special animals, all dressed as firefighters were presented to members of Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services. Fire Captain John
Luca, Senior Fire Inspector Matt Welhalf and Frank Correggio, Director of Communications for Local 1560 accepted over 50 stuffed animals These animals will ride along with members of Fire Rescue to all emergency calls and be given to sick or injured children to help ease their trauma. Garda’s cooperate office located in Boca Raton plans to work together with Boca Raton Fire Rescue on future projects.
