Friday, April 19 marked the first game for Socket’s co-ed softball team here in Columbia, MO. The team got off to a great start with a 10-5 win!

A few employees expressed interest in starting an employee softball team for the 2013 season, and we decided it was a great idea. The last time Socket had a company team was in 2008, but we are back and ready for action!

Sometimes you’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em. Perhaps maybe our poker players should’ve folded more often but that didn’t keep them from having a blast at this year’s Dream Factory Poker Tournament.

On Friday, April 12, Socket sponsored the event for the second year in a row, which benefits the Central Missouri Dream Factory. The tournament was held at the Knights Of Columbus in Columbia and raised more than $111,000 to grant dreams to chronically and critically ill children in mid-Missouri.

Here at Socket, we like to support local Columbia and mid-Missouri charitable organizations and events. Columbia and its surrounding communities have given so much to us, so we like to give back however we can.

One way we do this is by providing free Web hosting and discounted Internet service to Missouri non-profits. Interested organizations can fill out an application to apply for the program.
