NYSPMA Honors Pest Control Hurricane Volunteers

On November 3, The New York State Pest Management Association recognized three companies and five individuals for their sacrifice and public service rendered to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. (See New York PCOs Volunteer in Katrina-Affected New Orleans).

The conference was a perfect event at which to honor these individuals who portrayed the best of the pest control community in terms of public service. The recipients — Arnie Katz of Graduate Pest Control , Walden Flores of  Walden Pest Control and Greg Zarek,  Jose Alomar  & Gregory Schall of  Metro Pest Control — were each presented with a plaque and acknowledged by their peers with a standing ovation.

Also present at this event were top notch educators such as Stoy Hedges, Frank Meek, Bill Kolbe Mark Lacey Ph.D., Joe Barile and Jody Gangloff-Kaufman Ph.D., who each gave presentations and acknowledged the group. For more information contact Gil M. Bloom at NYSPMA, Katrina Chairman.
