Food Drive 2010

evas kitchenStatistics show that millions of Americans went hungry in 2009. Many more will do the same in this New Year.

HOLDCOM is a proud supporter of Eva's Village, a comprehensive, anti-poverty organization in Paterson, NJ. With a seating capacity of 240, the kitchen at Eva's Village served an average of 370 hot lunches each day last year. All who come are fed. Guests are not made to stand in a "chow line," but are seated at tables and served with dignity and respect by volunteers.

During the month of February, we open our doors and welcome donations for our Food Drive. Non perishable food items, as well as paper products are greatly appreciated. HOLDCOM recognizes the need to reach out to the community, and we look towards our network of clients and partners for their support.

For more information, contact joep@holdcom.com or andyb@holdcom.com

After the Party Season, We Still Need to Distinguish the Parties

Script Writing Tip - Write RulesAt Holdcom we receive Voice Prompt Menu requests on a daily basis and being one of the Script Consultants in the Department, many of them pass over my desk for review.  i'd like to take this opportunity to clear up a common mistake in these submissions.  We've all heard the voice prompt line "If you know your party's extension, please dial it now."  Well, all too often "party's" is misspelled; it comes over as the plural "parties."  Granted your callers would never know the difference and that is why you are entitled to Script Consultation, but the Holdcom Voice is the opportunity for us to enlighten our readers.  Party on.
