Lee Greenwood visits our Outsourcing and Product Fulfillment Center:
It has long been Lee Greenwood’s desire to visit Cleveland Vocational Industries, Inc. outsourcing and fulfillment center since he started serving as the national spokesperson for “Products for Good.” And he finally got his chance Thursday. “Products for Good” sells patriotic shadow boxes with un-circulated Iraqi coins that were decommissioned by Saddam Hussein at the end of the first Gulf War. Twenty five percent of the sales of the shadow boxes support various disabled veterans groups.
Greenwood wanted to meet the people and see how the shadow boxes are assembled. He toured the facility and signed hundreds of autographs.
Greenwood was welcomed by Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-10th district) who thanked him for helping raise funds for disabled vets and for supporting Cleveland Vocational. Jo Boggs chairperson of the County Commissioners, other commissioners as well as County Manager David Dear presented a county commemorative shadow box and thanked Greenwood for his support of Cleveland Vocational. Boggs also gave him her personal county commissioner lapel pin. Mayor Ted Alexander thanked Greenwood for supporting Cleveland County and presented him with the key of the city. Greenwood then assembled a shadow box and autographed it. The shadow box will be used for a special fundraiser.
