Office Engineers "arrested" for a
good cause
On Thursday May 12, 2005, at
approximately 9 a.m., Concord
police "arrested" Andrew Quinley
and Jeremy McGinnis. Their
"crime" was community service.
As part of the Muscular Dystrophy
Association (MDA) Lock-Up
campaign, Andrew and Jeremy,
office engineers for Rodgers
Builders, were taken into custody
and detained while they raised bail.
Friends, family, and co-workers
generously gave over $1,640 to bail
out the jailbirds.
All funds raised were turned over to
the MDA to help pay for items such
as flu shots, wheelchairs and leg
braces, doctors' visits, and medical
research.
Jeremy said, "The MDA Lock-Up
was a great experience. I learned a
lot about how this disease affects
the lives of people who are inflicted
with it. I was proud to help raise
money for a worthy cause."

Walkers "light the night" to help
find a cure for leukemia and
lymphoma
A team of Rodgers employees
walked two miles for Light the
Night, to support the Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society and help
raise funds for cancer research.
Over 1,500 participants carried
illuminated red balloons and
survivors carried white balloons,
dramatically lighting the October
night sky.
Employees give toys and their time
to help children enjoy the holidays
Employees donated more than 150
gifts to help children in the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg area have a brighter
holiday, filling two pickup trucks
for delivery to Mecklenburg Social
Services in December.
Volunteers also participated in
Operation Christmas Child, a project
of Samaritan's Purse that ships
shoeboxes filled with small gifts to
children throughout the world.
Thank you to all our employees who
made donations of gifts and of their
time!
