We are absolutely thrilled to announce an addition to the ProTec family – the talented team of Spectrum Property Services, an esteemed HOA maintenance and construction company based in Orange County. This marks a significant milestone for us, as we continue our unwavering commitment to expanding our services, integrating skilled professionals, and improving the quality of life for our ProTecians, clients, and the communities we proudly serve.

A Dream to Give Back

by Liz Teposte

This Dream went to Daniel Correa (Dept. 535). His dream was for ProTec to set up donation bins for socks, gloves (mainly for the youngsters) and blankets to help those in need during the soon to come colder days. The Fountain of Dreams team was able to make this happen by placing bins in our offices for everyone to take part of making his dream come true. Our team went above and beyond, not only setting up donation boxes but also contributing with two full bags of socks and gloves. To show our appreciation to Daniel for his selfless dream, we surprised him with a restaurant gift card, allowing him to enjoy a special dinner with his family. Thank you, Daniel, for trusting us with your Dream! Together, we're making a positive impact.

If you would like to donate, please drop off socks, gloves and blankets to the bins around the offices. They will be out until November 30th.

Time to "Fall Back"

By Danyelle Reese

As Daylight Saving Time comes to an end, it's time to "fall back" and set your clocks one hour behind on Sunday, November 5th. While we may lose some daylight, we gain an extra hour of sleep, making it a perfect opportunity to relax and recharge for next week. Enjoy that extra bit of rest and embrace the cozy evenings as we adjust to the new time.

Over the Hill

By Danyelle Reese

We've not only hit but surpassed the halfway mark, and it's only been one month! Keep up the fantastic work because we're well on our way to achieving this quarter's goal and raffling off $23,000. Let's keep the momentum going and smash this target together!
