SERVPRO Team Spinner Joins Forces for 2024 Earth Day Cleanup

4/23/2024 (Permalink)

Our team is committed to continuing our efforts to make a difference in our local communities.

SERVPRO® Team Spinner proudly kicked off National Volunteer Week and Earth Day by joining the 2024 Earth Day Cleanup hosted by Mayor Chris Bollwage of City of Elizabeth NJ - City Hall and the New Jersey Clean Communities.

At SERVPRO Team Spinner, “Serve Our Communities” is one of our team’s core values. So on Earth Day, our team had the privilege of participating in the 2024 Earth Day Cleanup. This event not only allowed us to give back to our local community but also underscored our commitment to sustainability and making a positive impact on our planet. 

The cleanup was a testament to the collective effort to protect and preserve our natural surroundings. Armed with gloves, trash bags, and determination, our team joined volunteers from across the city to tackle litter and debris in parks, streets, and public spaces. Together, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work, embodying the spirit of Earth Day by taking tangible action to improve our environment. 

Beyond the physical act of cleaning up litter, our participation in the cleanup served as a platform to raise awareness about environmental issues and the importance of sustainability. Through our actions, we hoped to inspire others to adopt eco-friendly practices, reduce waste, and become stewards of the planet. 

We all deserve clean streets and a clean environment. It's crazy that Earth Day is only one day of the year. Nonetheless, join us in making a difference for our planet! Participate in clean up events, reduce waste, and advocate for our environment. 

Every action counts. 

Let’s work together for a healthier Earth!

SERVPRO Team Spinner Extending a Helping Paw to Union County’s PetCare Drive

SERVPRO Team Spinner with the Union County Board of County Commissioners & the Department of Public Safety

“Serve Our Communities” is one of five of SERVPRO Team Spinner’s core values.

In alignment of community support and giving back, our team took the initiative and recognized the importance of assisting local animal shelters and pet rescue organizations. This initiative reflects our commitment to making a positive impact and spreading compassion to all members of our community, including those with paws and tails.

February is a month full of love – How else can we show love for the lives of our furry companions and the people in our community who take care of them?

The answer is by coming together to donate to the PetCare Drive hosted by the Union County Board of County Commissioners & the Department of Public Safety.

Pet drives play a crucial role in providing essential supplies and resources to animal shelters and rescue organizations. These facilities often rely on donations to meet the needs of the animals under their care, including food, bedding, toys, and medical supplies. By supporting pet drives, we can help ensure that shelter animals receive the care and comfort they deserve while awaiting adoption or placement in forever homes. With food and toys from Chewy to cleaning materials from SERVPRO, we at SERVPRO Team Spinner are grateful for the opportunity to contribute a substantial number of supplies to the welfare of animals in need. It takes a heart full of compassion and a desire to make a difference and the team came together to make this substantial donation to the pet drive. Each item donated represented a gesture of kindness and a commitment to improving the lives of our furry companions.

Our team looks forward to continuing our efforts to support worthwhile causes in the future.

The impact of our donation extends far beyond the physical items themselves. It represents a collective effort to support our local community and demonstrate compassion for all living beings. The supplies we donated will directly benefit countless animals, providing them with the care and comfort they need to thrive while in temporary shelter. We hope these animals get the food, toys, and happiness they need while they wait for their forever home.

We believe that every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the power to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. As we continue our journey of service and compassion, we invite others to join us in spreading love and support to those who need it most, including our furry friends. Together, we can make the world a better place for all beings, one donation at a time.

SERVPRO Team Spinner cleaning up for our Hamilton community

On Thursday, November 16, 2023, in the spirit of community and giving back, SERVPRO Team Spinner recently embarked on a special mission with a heartwarming twist. Recognizing the importance of supporting local organizations, the team decided to lend a helping hand to the Hamilton Police Athletic League (PAL) by offering their expertise in a unique and generous way.

The focus of this community initiative was none other than the mats at the Hamilton PAL facility. Understanding the wear and tear these mats endure from the active and spirited activities of the young athletes, the SERVPRO Team Spinner saw an opportunity to contribute their cleaning prowess.

What makes this initiative truly special is that SERVPRO Team Spinner decided to provide their cleaning services free of charge. This gesture exemplifies their commitment to supporting the community that has been an integral part of their journey. By stepping in to assist the Hamilton PAL, SERVPRO Team Spinner not only demonstrated their dedication to maintaining a clean and healthy community but also highlighted the power of collaboration and support among local businesses and organizations.

The freshly cleaned mats not only contribute to the overall well-being of the young athletes but also showcase the positive ripple effect that acts of kindness and generosity can have within a community. SERVPRO Team Spinner's commitment to service goes beyond their professional duties, reflecting a genuine desire to invest in the welfare of their neighbors.

As the freshly cleaned mats at the Hamilton PAL stand as a testament to SERVPRO Team Spinner's commitment to community service, it's a reminder that small acts of kindness can make a significant impact. The collaboration between SERVPRO Team Spinner and the Hamilton PAL showcases the positive outcomes that arise when businesses and organizations join forces for the greater good. Here's to more partnerships that build strong, resilient communities!

A Night to Remember: SERVPRO Team Spinner Happy Hour Event Recap

Happy Hour event for our partners at Galloping Hills

When it comes to celebrating our strong partnerships, there's no better way to do it than with good company, great food, and delicious drinks. At our recent SERVPRO Team Spinner Happy Hour event on October 26, 2023, we had the pleasure of hosting our valued partners, and it was a night filled with laughter, camaraderie, and memories we will cherish for years to come. Continue reading as we take you through the highlights of this unforgettable evening.

Since this was our first time hosting an event like this at SERVPRO Team Spinner, we wanted to be able to have a cozy setting with enough space to have our sales and marketing team interact with the partners they invited. We hosted the event at the Galloping Hill Golf Course indoor venue. The weather was perfect to step outside and enjoy the views of the golf course.

Waves of our partners came and went and there was endless chatter at every corner you looked. Our event was from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. – why do we call it happy “hour?” – and all our guests were entertained every minute of the hours, whether it be with food, drinks, or the people.

The heart of any happy hour is, of course, the beverages, and our guests were treated by SERVPRO Team Spinner to a variety of signature cocktails, craft beers, and exquisite wines the Galloping Hill had to offer. From classic martinis to unique mixes created just for the occasion, everyone had a chance to raise a toast to the bonds we have formed. Some interesting drinks to try the next time someone goes there would be the Spicy Pineapple Marg or their B Side-Tini. Tasty food is a universal language, and our SERVPRO Team Spinner Happy Hour did not disappoint. An array of mouthwatering appetizers kept everyone fueled and satisfied throughout the evening.

One of the primary objectives of the evening was to thank our partners for connecting with us. Our guests engaged in lively discussions, shared experiences, and explored opportunities for future collaborations. It was a perfect setting to discuss business in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Thank You to Our Partners. The SERVPRO Team Spinner Happy Hour event would not have been the same without the presence of our dedicated partners. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support, trust, and commitment. Together, we have achieved so much, and we look forward to even greater successes in the future.

Our SERVPRO Team Spinner Happy Hour event was not just an evening of entertainment; it was a celebration of partnership, collaboration, and shared goals. As we look back on the memories created during this special night, we are reminded of the strength and vitality of our relationships with our partners. Here is to many more joyful gatherings, successful endeavors, and cherished moments in the future.

Thank you to all who attended our SERVPRO Team Spinner Happy Hour event. We're excited to host our next SERVPRO Team Spinner Happy Hour event again, this time in Hamilton, NJ!

A Fang-tastic Halloween at SERVPRO Team Spinner

SERVPRO Team Spinner ready to give treats to our community

Halloween is a time for ghoulish delights and spooky surprises, and at SERVPRO Team Spinner, we continue to care for our local community. We had the privilege of seeing the kids from Kohler Academy for a morning filled with laughter, costumes, and a whole lot of treats. It was a day to remember, not just for the children but for our entire team, as we experienced the true essence of community engagement.

At SERVPRO Team Spinner, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. It is not just about cleaning and restoration; it's about building relationships and fostering a sense of togetherness. Our commitment to community engagement has been a core value for us, and events like this one exemplify that commitment.

We set the scene by bringing a table out to the street and transformed it with spooky decorations. The excitement was palpable as the children from Kohler Academy arrived, their faces painted with glee and anticipation. Of course, what's Halloween without costumes? Both our team and the kids from Kohler Academy donned some incredible costumes. From iconic barbies to adorable superheroes, the diversity of costumes added to the festive spirit of the day. There were smiles all around, as everyone embraced the opportunity to express themselves in their chosen characters.

The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the smiles on the children's faces. Their laughter and joy filled our office, serving as a reminder of the importance of these moments in building a strong and connected community. It was an incredible feeling to provide a safe and fun environment for these kids to enjoy their Halloween.

The Halloween event with the kids from Kohler Academy at SERVPRO Team Spinner was an incredible experience. It showcased the power of community engagement, the joy of giving back, and the importance of creating memorable moments for the next generation. As a company, we are proud to have this table presented every year, and it serves as a reminder that it is not just about what we do professionally but also about the positive impact we can have on the communities we serve.

We look forward to many more opportunities to connect with our community and make a difference, one smile at a time. Thank you, Kohler Academy, for sharing this wonderful morning with us, and thank you to our team for making it all possible. Halloween at SERVPRO Team Spinner will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Happy Holidays

7/3/2018 (Permalink)

As we enter the holiday spirit of backyard barbeques, flag waving, pool parties, and fireworks, we at SERVPRO of western Essex County would like to wish everyone a happy 4^th of July. We would like to stress the importance of staying safe of any fireworks. While we use fireworks to mark this special holiday, it is in our best interest to stress the importance of safety. Fireworks cause thousands of burns and eye injuries each year. Most often children and teens are injured while using consumer fireworks. People can still enjoy fireworks if they follow simple safety tips. If you want to see fireworks, go to a public show put on by experts. Keep a close eye on children at events where fireworks are used.  Do not use consumer fireworks. All in all, have fun and stay cool!

SERVPRO of Western Essex County is highly devoted to serving their community in the best way they can. Take a look at this wonderful contribution from Bob Morrison in his own words, as we highlight one of his many devotions to his community with a Hospital Facility Managers Group.

“I was on the waiting list for this group for many years, prior to getting inducted in 2003 and have been an active member since then.”  Bill Anderson sponsored me, and I remain grateful to him for his efforts in assisting me. My relationship with Bill stemmed from when I was an account rep for Honeywell Inc., and was assigned our account at Rahway Hospital, where he was the Vice President of Facilities. I have been a member of ASHE dating back to 1993, and have remained active with since 2009. I currently serve on the Hospital Facility Managers Group, in which I greatly value and enjoy. I have been serving that capacity since 2015. Prior to then, I served as the Ad Journal Committee Chair, dating back to 2010. During that time, I was fortunate to have been recognized with the President’s Service Award for my efforts to the Chapter in 2012.

In my view, the culture has changed positively through the years, thereby encouraging and enabling member participation in many aspects of Chapter activities.

There has been an influx of newer members, including Regular Members, Professional Members as well as Professional Associate Members. In my view, this has enabled a more global perspective of the specific Healthcare challenges and concerns which our industry is faced with.

 “The ability for all these varied backgrounds and points of view facilitates networking opportunities, from both a business-to- business level as well as via a peer-to-peer level.”

I have owned SERVPRO of Western Essex County for over 15 years. We provide both emergency and non-emergency services, including fire/water restoration, mold remediation, HVAC System and Air Duct System cleaning, Cooling Tower cleaning, deodorization, and many more. My company is certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning Restoration Certification (IICRC), the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), active with the Indoor Air Quality Association of New Jersey (IAQA). We are registered as a Small Business Enterprise (SME) with the State of New Jersey. We are registered with the Federal Small Business Administration (SBA), and with the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey as a Small Business.

We have performed services at many of the Chapter Institutions through the years, and remain excited about working with many more going forward. We offer an Emergency Response Profile (ERP) which is an electronic App which proactively provides valuable facility data should an event occur, on any portable electronic device on a real- time basis. This is available at no cost in essence, a free tool which we would be happy to generate upon request.

In summary, I love our organization and look forward to forging ahead together!”

HELLO!

It’s that time of year again! We here at SERVPRO of Western Essex county will be hosting a FREE 3 credit CE class for New Jersey P&C Insurance producers on Tuesday, May 1, 2017.

GOOD STUFF- ENHANCEMENTS YOU WANT ON YOUR CLIENT’S POLICIES (Enhancing your client's coverage is a critical part of the risk management function and is mandatory in today's competitive environment. Most policy forms as written, need to be broadened in a variety of ways: increasing-sub limits, broadening restrictive coverage, providing coverage where no coverage is given, and adding essential endorsements to help keep you out of court! Beware of some "broadening" endorsements that carriers include with their policies---as they may just give your more limit of a crummy coverage! This class will help you determine the expanded coverages you should be sure are included in your client's insurance program).
