We love our community, and we know times can be particularly hard around the holidays, especially in our current economy.

Vernon & Associates is doing a  food drive to benefit those in need this Thanksgiving.  All food donations will be given to the Tacoma Rescue Mission.

Local donations can be dropped off at our office at 3641 North Pearl Street in Tacoma, Washington.  If you’re not local, consider making a monetary donation to the Tacoma Rescue Mission here.

They have particular need for turkeys, hams, potatoes, boxes of stuffing and other non-perishable food items.

Join us in making someone’s holiday a little brighter this year!  We will be collecting food donations until Tuesday, November 22, 2011.  Items can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Update: We collected lots of food for the Tacoma Rescue Mission!  Thanks to everyone who donated!

The segment starts at about 17:40 into the video.

We would like to introduce the Environmental Business Alliance of Tacoma-Pierce County (EB Alliance)!

Vernon & Associates is a member, and our own Adrienne Vernon is a member of the EB Alliance Steering Committee.

The EB Alliance was formed as a partnership between the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, Citizens for a Healthy Bay, Go Local, and the City of Tacoma that helps Pierce County businesses improve their environmental performance and increase their profitability. The Alliance provides businesses with access to resources and information about environmentally sustainable practices.

You too can join!  Check out the steps to join the EB Alliance here.

There are many benefits of joining, including:

• Education and networking opportunities, business to business forums on strategies and expert advice on sustainability practices.
• Identify and implement strategies to improve your environmental performance
• Share your environmental initiatives and accomplishments
• Help the environment
• Enhance your community
• Increase profitability
• Be recognized as an invested & committed business leader in the community

This is a great partnership that we are happy to be a part of, and we are excited to see the impact on our community!

It’s easy and cost efficient to hold your next deposition, job interview or meeting by videoconference.  Enjoy the comfortable atmosphere of our videoconference suite while our coordinator takes care of arranging everything you need to have a productive and valuable meeting.  We can arrange a videoconference site in whatever city, state or country you need through our extensive videoconference network.

Why spend hours on a plane, money on a hotel and valuable time away from your family and work when you don’t have to?  Give it a try and we’re sure that you’ll be extremely satisfied with the results.
