NVC Dresses for a Cause
NVC staff are now sporting t-shirts for a cause on
Fridays. Each month a different cause is chosen.
Each employee who wants to participate pays to
wear the shirt, and the money raised will be given
to the cause or a charity.
In May we honored our veterans. Pictured is NVC
employee Jaime Hopp presenting a check to
Chuck Weber, Beverly North, Ron Neitzel and Allan Ochsner of Disabled American Veterans Chapter 13
to put towards the purchase of a newer van. We also had popcorn in our offices on each Friday of the
month for veterans.
Thank you for your service!

According to lightningsafety.noaa.gov/, each year in the
United States more than 400 people are struck by lightning.
On average, between 55 and 60 people are killed; hundreds
of others suffer permanent neurological disabilities. Most of
these tragedies can
be avoided with a few
simple precautions.
When thunderstorms
threaten, get to a safe
place. Lightning safety
is an inconvenience that
can save your life.
In addition to protecting
yourself by staying inside during storms, it is also imperative
to protect your equipment from lightning strikes. Computers,
monitors, routers, printers, televisions, electronic telephones,
cable TV boxes, and any other electronic items made with
delicate components are potentially in danger.
Lightning can enter your home through three paths: 1)
Electrical wiring from power lines that feed your house, 2) Data
wiring used for telephone, DSL, and cable services, 3) Directly
through the atmosphere.
While there are no guarantees, there are steps you can take to
minimize the chance of your equipment being damaged during
a storm. All equipment should have adequate, high-quality
surge suppression and/or battery backup power to protect
from damage caused by a potential lightning surge. However,
the best guarantee for protecting your equipment is to simply
unplug it before severe storms arrive. If you will be away from
home during the thunderstorm season, unplug your equipment
before you leave.
For more information about lightning and its potentially
harmful effects, visit these websites: lightningsafety.com, and
lightningsafety.noaa.gov/.
