1600 Toys for 1600 Girls and Boys Christmas gift collection

Twelfth Annual “1600 Toys For 1600 Girls And Boys” Donation Drive Is Underway And Needs Your Support

November 7, 2018

Don’t let the name fool you. When local radio station WAAM first partnered with The Salvation Army to launch this opportunity for holiday giving, setting a goal of collecting 1600 toys for holiday distribution was cleverly memorable.

January 10, 2019

Somewhere among the many late-December closing reminders and New Years resolutions came thought to the future of all your digitally-stored stuff, by whatever means, wherever they may currently rest. “Backup” is likely the anchoring word that comes to mind. In practical application, it means physical media, location, and lifestyle. [1] In addition to any personal reasons you may have for trying to maximize the longevity of your data, there may be legal requirements that you ....
