Ryan Atherton and Wes Howland from our office just completed a multi day program in Nashville
Tennesse for Edge National Youth event and Youth Encounter. See what Steph Gunderson,
Event Director has to say about us in her letter below.
In May, 2006, our company proudly supported an event for Gleaners Food Bank that helps feed needy families in the Detroit Metro area. We support several charity events each year and many organizations such as Children's Lukemia Association, numerous youth events, Relay for life, and other charitable events and fund raisers throughout the state of Michigan.

Allen Green and Jason Bartush from our company recently went to the University of Maine at Fort Kent, Maine. This trip up the east coast from a prior job in Virginia was an opportunity we couldn't pass up. Students had contacted us in hopes of getting a Mechanical Bull, Laser Tag, and other events. They have had significant problems getting service from other companies, because, as they put it, "we are 300 feet from Canada". As one of the northmost spots in the continental United States, Fort Kent welcomed Allen and Jason with lots of hospitality, and an early November snowstorm.

Wes Howland, one of our long-time event staffers, and Jason Bartush travelled to Long Beach, Mississippi, to participate in a celebration for folks that have been dealing with the Katrina Hurricane. The event, put together by many volunteers, and spearheaded by Gulf Coast Worship Center, was to honor residents and volunteers in their sense of community and faith. Wes and Jason, both coming off of long tours, volunteered to drive and do the event, because of the great number and diversity of games we could supply. We donated the rental of games, and expenses were graciously picked up by Pawleys Island Community Church in Pawleys Island South Carolina - one of our great customers. Area and event photos from Long Beach, Mississippi are below. We thank all who were involved for this opportunity to serve.

We were very pleased to be involved with helping dedicate the bringing of jobs back to Michigan. Chris Nordman Associates, Inc. provided sound reinforcement, pipe and drape, and other production services for this "grand opening" dedication event at Cummins Bridgeway in Novi Michigan. Photos of the event, and text from the Cummins Bridgeway press release follow. This event occured on October 21, 2005.

"Michigan Company Brings Jobs North"
New assembly and engineering jobs are accelerating in New Hudson, Michigan due to a new
venture by Cummins Power Products, a design and assembly division of Cummins Bridgeway,
LLC. Cummins Power Products recently purchased assets and relocated an entire assembly
operation from a plant in Central Mexico to its existing modern operation in New Hudson, in the
western suburb of Detroit.
The new operation designs and manufactures DC generator sets, which are utilized for
emergency standby power, with primary applications in the high technology telecom sector.
These units operate on clean natural gas and are available worldwide through the Cummins
Distribution System.
Cummins Power Products occupies a 60,000 sq. ft. plant and engineering operation in New
Hudson. In addition to the new generator sets, CPP produces a full line of diesel and natural
gas power units from 17 to 1500 horsepower. These products are used in numerous industrial
applications including oil & gas, irrigation, dewatering, forestry, mining, and many other markets.
Since occupying its new facility in late 2002, CPP has added fourteen assembly jobs, five
design engineering seats, and one management position. The recent addition of the DC
Generator set line has alone added eight positions, all of which were formerly outside the USA.
According to Greg Boll, President/CEO of Cummins Bridgeway, the sales potential is worldwide
in scope, and could blossom with a need for power reliability in the high tech market sector. “We
intend to produce very high quality products, thus nurturing existing customers while capturing
new markets. We are very confident in the efficiency and talent of the workforce in this area and
feel it will be a competitive advantage for us.”
“Our culture is targeted at quality, efficiency, and customer service. These values are shared by
our Midwest suppliers, employees, and unions. We will be competitive in this world market.”
“We are excited to create jobs in our area and among numerous local suppliers. Our many
stakeholders will benefit as we grow and add increasing value to our customer base.”
