Local Company Provides ‘Gas as a Gift’ this Season
Posted: December 11, 2006 » by Lead Architect » in Community; News and Events
‘Tis the season to be giving and Rachel Pastirik, President of Netdrafter, LLC is playing Santa Claus this winter in a celebration to honor Netdrafter’s 100th project. Why? Because she cares about her community and she wants to give back. “My mother taught me that there is a right way to do things. Be thankful for what you have and help others. I want to help and to motivate others to do the same.”
Netdrafter located in Ashburn, Virginia has been in business since 1998 providing web design, web development, search engine optimization (SEO), e-commerce and a whole host of web related services. “This is a great industry. I love my job. We’re growing and expanding and I’m happy about that and I look forward to further expansion in 2007.”
Well help is on the way for our community! Netdrafter will provide ten – $10 gas gift cards – five of which will go to the Loudoun Department of Family Services. “This is a really great idea as we always need money to transport the people we are trying to help.” The other five will go to the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter (LAWS) whose director wrote, “This is a wonderful idea – gas cards in amounts of 10-15 dollars would be a huge help to the women we serve.” Both organizations provide care for struggling people that reach out for help during a crisis situation. No matter how much we want to believe that people should be able to solve their own problems – the reality is that they can’t always do it without help.
“Gas as a gift” is not an ideal gift like a toy – it’s a practical gift like food. Life happens. People fall. Communities help. Be a part of yours and give gas cards this season.
Charities request cards in the amount of $10-15 each.
