Summer is a particularly slow time for blood banks. The college students leave town, and the high schoolers who got out of class to donate are no longer in class. The Red Cross makes a big push to help make up this deficit, and Socket helped out!

"I donate blood as a way of being a good steward of the blessings I have received," says Vicki Winton.

Every month, Socket’s employees nominate a co-worker for the You-Make-The-Difference award. Jeff Smith, was chosen as the YMTD Winner in May.

“Jeff is always available to deal with anything thrown his way,” said a nominating co-worker. “He deals with the problem quickly, accurately and always with a smile.”

Jeff has been working at Socket for two years. As accounting manager, some of his duties include leading general ledger activities, preparing various financial reports and statements, and performing necessary analysis of company financials, including special projects and internal audits.
