Chapter In-Kind Donor

Thanks to IBM for a new laptop we received in September 2007 through their 2007 IBM Technology Grant Program.  The new laptop is used with other laptops IBM donated through the 2006 IBM Technology Grant Program to speed our response time to client requests for financial assistance, provide documentation of the extent of a disaster's devastation and significantly decrease the incidence of fraudulent claims.  With a trained disaster volunteer force of over 250 local residents, last year we provided relief to nearly 200 families that were victims of residential fires.  Technology such as that provided by IBM enables us to serve our customers effectively and efficiently.  We are grateful to IBM for their continued support of our chapter - and the community we serve.
