In lieu of doing a holiday gift exchange, the employees of Range Telecommunications of Marquette chose to donate to the D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans. In turn, Range matched all the employee donations dollar-for-dollar. Over $1,800 was raised to benefit the local veterans. “As a Coast Guard veteran myself, veterans hold a special place in my heart,” says company president Dave Savolainen. “For many of these veterans, the Jacobetti facility will be the last place that they will call home. We, as a community, must do what we can to see that their stay there is as comfortable and happy as possible.” Pictured: Dave Savolainen, President of Range Telecommunications, center, presents the donation check to D.J. Jacobetti representatives Sarah Johnson, volunteer coordinator, and Ryan Engle, administrator.
