2013-04-05
ADRIAN, MI, April 05, 2013 (Press-News.org) Officeville, Inc., a Michigan-based online office supply company, was seeking a way to make a difference in peoples' lives beyond the daily transactions typical of selling products. Recognizing that families keep our nation strong, Officeville has pledged to provide ongoing support to Bethany Christian Services, the largest adoption agency in the United States.

"Office products are our commodity, but helping people is our passion," explained Officeville President, Dave Rydzinski. "Each day, we try to go beyond the normal service for our customers, with the goal of providing help and information that makes their day better. We want to focus on helping others, while also giving our customers an opportunity to help those less fortunate."

Rydzinski selected Bethany Christian Services because of their faith-based mission of protecting and enhancing the lives of children and families through quality social services. "An organization that bases its foundation on the love and compassion of Jesus Christ has the right focus for making a difference in people's lives," he said. "And, there are plenty of children out their hurting and waiting for a family to love them and nurture them."

"Our vision is that every child will know the warmth and security of a loving family," explained Sheila Mounts, from Bethany. "We are grateful for companies like Officeville, who support that vision and help promote it to their customers."

"Since the Officeville client base is so large, across much of the United States, we believe that businesses can have an impact with an organization that is so far-reaching in its efforts to make a difference," said Rydzinski. "Bethany has more than 80 locations in the U.S., and ministers to children and families in more than a dozen countries."

The Officeville online shopping system has been set up so that current customers have the opportunity to donate to the adoption agency directly, through their Member Rewards program. Officeville is also promoting Bethany Christian Services in a variety of media programs this year, along with its corporate donations.

Bethany is also headquartered in Michigan, and has been bringing families together through adoption for nearly 70 years. They also provide international adoption services, temporary care, and counseling services.

Officeville is a Michigan-based online retail company featuring office supplies, office furniture, janitorial and breakroom supplies, and specialty items typically not found in an office supply catalog. The company serves clients across the nation and supports local businesses and organizations through its mission and vision of helping others while connecting a community. http://www.officeville.com

Author Stephen Goldstein Takes on Objectivism and Randian Philosophies in Atlas Drugged: Ayn Rand Be Damned!

2013-04-05
Atlas Drugged: Ayn Rand Be Damned! begins where Atlas Shrugged leaves off, with the United States of America having devolved into the United Corporations of America and a world where the divide between the 99% and the 1% is ever prevalent. Stephen Goldstein's book offers the 99% a vision for closing that gap. Imagine firefighters stand watching a house burn because the owner owed some back taxes or municipal fees. Imagine the government providing no relief at all to a hurricane-ravaged Florida. That non-action is the (fortunately) fictitious exemplification of Ayn ...
