Red Wing Software customer, Paul Chittenden, of Dutch Hollow Farms, was interviewed and featured in the June 12, 2016 issue of Progressive Dairyman, in the story A Passion for Jersey Cattle and Mentoring is Key to Dutch Hollow Farm’s Success. The story covers the history behind the farm’s success, and how the family has grown the farm successfully over the years.

Dorrich Dairy featured in The Farmer

Red Wing Software customer, Dorrich Dairy, and the entire Vold family, were featured in the story Team Effort at Dorrich Dairy, in the June, 2016, issue of The Farmer magazine. The story focuses on the efforts of the entire family and the use of consulting services, and how they’ve proven successful on their farm.

With the relatively recent heavy rain storms and flooding in the southern and eastern United States, and the wildfires in the west, it is a reminder of how important it is to be prepared for a disaster. I sincerely hope all of our customers are getting through the unexpected events and/or recovering from the effects safely.

I have previously mentioned the importance of having your business information protected by storing data backups off-site and in places the data would be available to restore if the need arises. In the event of a disaster, Red Wing Software will do everything we can to help get your business back up and running by helping reload programs, etc., but we can’t help recover your financial information if you don’t have access to a good backup. Please don’t hesitate to call on us when you need disaster recovery assistance. One way to eliminate worrying about storing data backups off-site is to use the Red Wing Cloud Service which gives you access to your CenterPoint program and financial information in the cloud so it can be accessed anytime from anywhere.

I’ve heard the recent “Brexit” vote described as an “Independence Day”. As we enjoy Independence Day in the United States, and Canada Day in Canada, we wish the best of outcomes for our friends and allies in Europe. Please celebrate safely.

• Carole (Finance) and her husband Jon celebrated daughter Zoe’s induction into the National Honor Society.
• Julie's (Sales Consultant) son Joey’s college track team won both their indoor and outdoor conference championship for the first time in the school’s history. Before the outdoor conference championships and since it was Mother’s Day weekend, he had someone draw a “Mom” tattoo on his arm. This isn’t the first time this ‘tattoo’ has been a bit of good luck though. In high school, Joey had someone draw a fake “Mom” tattoo on his arm for their pictures, and they won their conference! For this his picture is on the wall of the school – he will be up there forever with his “Mom” tattoo.
• Katrina (Administrative Assistant) and her friend Katie enjoyed some sun at Panama City Beach, FL! Her husband Josh separated from the Air Force and they celebrated with a “Thank You/ Welcome Home/Happy Birthday Party". Our thanks to Josh for his 12 years of service!
• Matt’s (Sales Consultant) son, Miles (9 years old), completed his first year in junior pool league. Over 50 youth are in the league, ranging in age from 7-17. At the end of the year league celebration party earlier this month, Miles placed 2nd in the trick shot competition. He was bested by a 16-year-old that has been in the league for nine years, but he will get them next year!! Miles was very proud of his trophy and the new case that he received for his cue.

This month I had a number of topics for this newsletter floating around in my head, but, after this weekend, only one seemed important.

On behalf of myself and the entire staff at Red Wing Software, I have a short and sincere message to all the men and women who have served, do serve, or will serve their country in the defense of freedom: Thank You.
