Vaccination Location Information
These links might help you find a vaccination location in a more timely manner. If you use a Walmart location, you will need a login and password. I'm sure as things progress, there will be more vaccination locations to choose from.

Did you know National Retirement Planning Week is part of Financial Literacy Month?
As the managed account provider for Action, Inc.'s retirement plan, we are ready to help. We always recommend that participants update their retirement plans at least once a year.
During the week of April 12th, ProNvest will provide complimentary retirement reviews.
ProNvest will review their individual 401(k) accounts to establish if participants:
1. Experienced significant financial or lifestyle changes
2. Want to increase their current contribution rate
3. Need to change their expected retirement age
4. Based upon changes, need to update their investment strategy
Please Contact Jan Shamp jshamp@action-mechanical.com if you are interested in this service.

Crew Recognition - Darby Jr. High
From Foreman, Chris French:
"On 01/27/2021, my men and myself were called into the Nabholz office before lunch. I didn't know what was going on at the time. Andy Potter, Nabholz Superintendent, proceeded to hand out Home Depot gift cards to my crew in appreciation of clean-up efforts and always having required PPE on. I wanted to pass on to our company the great job that Jorge Gomez, John Cibik, and Cody Bolin are doing for me."

2 Crew Recognitions -
WPX Energy Building in Tulsa, OK
From Flintco General Contractor at WPX-Energy Building:
"Thank you to the Action plumbing crew for being on site this week. Even in the freezing cold conditions they were able to get work done and get it done safely. Their determination to show up every day and put in work is great to see on the job, kudos to those guys."
"I observed the operations today related to flying the prefab restroom carrier groups from the ground to lower levels of the Low-rise. Jason and Caleb on the ground, sending units up to Mike and Phillip. Action’s people were fully attentive to the task.
This task was executed in a manner that demonstrated a clear plan.
All fall protection requirements were in place and whistles were used to clearly communicate loads in the air.”
Kudos to the crew!!
