Liberty Diversified Industries' Great Gratitude Tour

Liberty Diversified Industries Great Gratitude Tour At AICC’s 2018 Spring Meeting in Phoenix, Liberty Diversified Industries (LDI) and five other AICC members were presented a "Member Milestone” plaque for achieving significant anniversary milestones in business.  LDI Chairman and CEO Mike Fiterman made some very moving remarks on how several generations of his family built  his 100-year-old company and how grateful he was for the opportunities that were given to his family members and himself through the years. 

Putting words into heartfelt actions, the Fitermans and LDI team members have launched a movement called "Boxes of Gratitude.” If you visit www.boxesofgratitude.com you can share the things that you are grateful for in your life as well as to see how LDI is sharing their gratitude through good works locally in the Twin Cities area as well as nationwide.

From July 2 through July 20 LDI executives and team members will take to the road on the Great Gratitude Tour to celebrate LDI’s 100th anniversary with their message of gratitude.  LDI executives will be joining employees at their facilities throughout the country to kickoff the next 100 years with volunteer opportunities and random acts of gratitude in local communities along the way.  As part of the tour, LDI will attempt to break the Guinness Book World Record for the largest outpouring of gratitude ever captured on a scroll of paper. 

The Great Gratitude Tour comes to the Washington, D.C. area on the 3rd and 4th of July.  Two gratitude events are planned for the benefit of Our Military Kids and Women in Military Service to America.  AICC staff will join the latter program which will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at the Women in Military Service to America Museum and Memorial.  This will be followed by a dinner and a viewing of the Independence Day fireworks.  AICC’s headquarters is in Alexandria, VA, a short distance from Arlington.  AICC President Steve Young was pleased to accept LDI’s gracious invitation to share in the program, the celebration and the gratitude.  We will share pictures of the event in next week’s inBox.  

Happy Independence Day from your AICC staff!
