With Thanksgiving right around the corner (how can it be NEXT WEEK already!?)

NMC is supporting our local community by giving to those most in need.  Our company food drive has already been one of the biggest yet. In fact, we’ve already surpassed our goal of 200lbs with another week to go!

This year we’re donating to the North Smithfield Food Pantry, right here in our own back yard.

Thank you to all of our Associates who are helping our neighbors this year. Your support makes all the difference.

We’ll be in Philly for the next few days.

Take a look at these spooky pumpkins – if you dare!
Below are the entries in our annual NMC Pumpkin Carving contest. Hey, is that Mr. Udo? I wondered where he’d been since his trip across America.

Everyone at NMC would like to thank all of the Show Me The Funny contest participants. There were some very clever signs sent in. But, alas, not everyone can be a winner. We’ve chosen our favorite 5 funnies which are listed below.

REMEMBER, the Grand Prize winner will be announced at our booth (#1335) at the NSC Congress in Philadelphia at the end of October. So stop in and say hello.

Now on to our WINNERS. You’ll all receive a “No Coffee, No Workee” mug and 50pk of your Funny made into 3×5 labels.
