Looking Back at 2017 | LassiterWare Cares
As 2017 wraps up, we can’t help but reflect on all the incredible things our employees have done for their communities throughout the year. Their contributions included individual donations, advocating for a particular cause, and volunteering their days, nights and even weekends.
