From the Desk of

Dallas S. Bunton, Sr. Chairman & CEO NACS and Medical Services, Inc.

Honoring a man, friend, servant of God, trusted and re-spected member of our work family and member of our prayer team here on campus. In honor of Willis Robertson I would like to leave us with some words that may etch a special memory of our late friend. It's not so much of what we say about a person as it is the mo-tivation that drives us to say it. Why? Because he (the person) had a positive impact on our path in life.

NACS was without an accountant here on Campus for a period of time. This is a hard position, with a lot of responsibility and many people to satisfy with ac-curacy. Me, my attorneys, the bankers that support the Campus, the IRS, auditors and our many em-ployees. "Heavenly Father send us someone please to fill such big shoes. I cannot do this and need someone I can trust and lean on." This was my prayer, over and over. Then one day, in walks Willis with his resume and a smile bigger than life. We went into the conference room and I was asking God, "Lord are you sure about this guy? This guy has got to be older than me!" Willis and I talked, smiled, traded stories, touched on God's amazing grace and my soul was warmed with the understanding that God does answer prayers. Willis was surely the man for the hour.

Willis was not just a strong accounting servant but he was a loyal friend of our entire campus. Wanting to be sure that each W-2, 1099 and so on, was as perfect as possible. He worried for any employee that had a problem caused by the accounting department; even though not his fault.

He was dedicated to providing a high level of service wrapped in respect to others and his family and his / our God. Though as a Seventh-Day Adventist and would normally have been at church on a Saturday, he often came out and dedicated time to the Dragon Boat races for the Children’s Hospital. Gave blood when he could and supported all that he could on this campus; from clean up, to stack up. He believed in we are a team. I never heard him complain and if anyone had a reason too it would have been Willis. He had a good morning greeting and smile for everyone.

On occasions when tax time or something regarding taxes would catch my nerve, I would go to Willis and say, "Willis call your buddies at the IRS. I am tired of it, I am paying too much taxes!” He would reply with a serious look that turned into a grin, “Dallas I am sure they look forward in getting your check. They appreci-ate it.” Then we would have a serious conversation regarding taxes, world affairs and end up somehow next to heaven. Willis was my friend, I will surely miss him. I pray that our God will have compassion and mercy on his dear wife and family. May 22, 1948 - July 27, 2016

Kudos— Taylor Parker for quickly adapting to the new Athena processes for Keybank. She also steps in to keep things run-

ning smoothly during high volume and vacation times. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Employee of the Month — Beth Eddy (shown on right) is always willing to work over in any

practice when asked too and keeps her clients (Cobb, HMA, Takoma, Takoma MH) current and up to date. Beth is always stepping up and willing to help her co-workers in time of need or prayer.

Sometimes if an employee not only “Shines” in her work but in her contribution to others it will show their “Character” as a person. Beth meets all of these standards and someone you would want on your team!

Employee & Community Connect

July 15th was a special day on campus for our company prayer team and employees. A time for

Prayer, fellowship and encouragement along with a picnic style luncheon of hot dogs, hamburg-

ers with all the trimmings. Thank you all for making our campus a continued success!

July Campus Fellowship — Prayer & Picnic in Pavilion

There’s a lot of talk this year, as we are in the heat of the political season regarding our veterans. Howev-er for way to long these hero’s that have served our country and kept us safe; have often themselves lost everything in the process. Sometimes our service men and women come home wounded inside and out. Maybe they have while in other countries lost wives, family and their sense of being a part of life.

Too many times these brave service members become drained of the will to live and turn to suicide. We will be hosting a campus wide honor week September 12 –16 where employees will be provided with an honor T-shirt (example shown on top right) provided FREE by NACS. Employees who would like to donate $10 in support of this charitable cause, will be provided with the opportunity to wear blue jeans for the entire weeks event or $5 for two days of blue jean casual attire. NACS will match any money raised, plus a donation of $3,000 over and above what is donated by our employees and the match amount.

Let’s show our service men and women that we care and appreciate what they do to serve our country and protect our way of life. Thank you!
