Terri Hines, receptionist and office assistant, retires

Friday, October 18th, 2019

Mark Roth, Operations Manager, spoke at Terri’s retirement party on Tues, Oct 15 and he said everything so well we thought we’d just provide his speech in its entirety here!

Terri joined FRC in March of 2002 and has worked for us now for almost 18 years. I am both happy and sad that Terri has chosen to retire. I joined FRC and worked with Terri for a little more than 5 years. Since Terri has been employed by FRC for longer than I worked here I decided to talk to some of my fellow employees to get some history to help me write this speech.

FRC Summer Food Drive

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2018

Earlier in the summer FRC’s own Lisa Radesco started a program to encourage employees to donate food to the Long Island Cares Summer Food Drive. The Summer Food Drive is a tradition of the Harry Chapin Food Bank (which the folk songwriter from Long Island founded one year before his tragic death on the Long Island Expressway in 1981) and promoted by our local business association, HIA-LI. Donation boxes were set up around our facility to collect non-perishable food. To extend our outreach a bit we have set up a partner page at YouGiveGoods.com where you can purchase food for donation to the cause online. Our online goal is a modest 200 lbs.

When you shop online, YouGiveGoods will email you a tax deductible receipt and all donations will be shipped at the close of the drive directly to the charity. Visit our page frequently to check our progress.

Drive ends on September 15th 2018

After 16 years Charlie Manoogian, technician, retires

Tuesday, May 9th, 2017

FRC celebrated the retirement of Charlie Manoogian who was a technician in our electronics department part time for about 14 years and full time for the last 2 years. Charlie was familiar with many of the older FRC products and was frequently called in to investigate the more difficult problems because he was such a great troubleshooter.

Always active, Charlie organized FRC participation in the annual Long Island Pedalers For A Cure 42 mile cancer ride every year until that organization disbanded, actively fund-raising, helping participants to train for the ride, helping fix flats, and even providing some bicycles! Charlie will surely be missed at FRC! He and his wife plan to continue their active lifestyle playing raquetball, bicycling, and boating in Virginia.
