Thanks to all of those who responded to our last blog: THINK PINK! at NACS. October is not only about NACS and a shaky economy, but also about creating awareness for a disease that affects millions of people worldwide each year: breast cancer. We heard from several of you regarding your participation in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

• CMI’s marketing manager, Stephanie Flury, ran along with 14,000 others in Charlotte, NC on October 3rd.
• Jan Underwood, controller of Davis Oil in Georgia notes she will be running in Macon, GA on October 24th.
• Jerri Smith, of PF&E, will be running in Austin, TX on November 1st. Jerri has been running in this event for 10 years! She and a group in her office wear PINK to work every Friday during October as a way to raise awareness.

This is just a small sample of how the Petroleum Distributing and Retail industry employees, retailers and suppliers always step up to back a worthy cause no matter the economic climate.

Again, kudos to all of the runners involved in the cause. See you at NACS next week and remember to THINK PINK!
