In September, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Two months later, much of the island is still without power and the needs are great. The Professional Women in Pest Management invite you join us in sending holiday cheer to the families of NPMA member companies in Puerto Rico. Our colleague in Puerto Rico has assured us that Kmart, Walmart and Toys R Us are open. Gift cards to any of these stores will be welcomed by families in need. Bell Laboratories has been successfully shipping to Puerto Rico and has agreed to ship on our behalf on 12/16/2017 so that the gift cards can be distributed in time for the holidays.
