DUKAL Make a Difference 2010

Written by Suzanne Carlino (Graphics Manager)

         I am proud to say DUKAL had a lot of success last year with our Make a Difference Campaign. We are in full swing for another great year in 2010.  We have chosen some new charities this year and we are looking to be successful again in donating our time and/or making donations.
        Last year when the Make a Difference Campaign was presented to us, I was thrilled.  I knew I wanted to give back and what charities I would like to nominate. My nominations came easily to me because there are moments in your life that can change you forever and that moment happened to me six years ago.  I never thought I would say “I have cancer” and now six years later I am proud to say “I’m a survivor “.  I am so grateful to the people that volunteered their time and money to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.  Their donations went to supporting research to give people like me a fighting chance.
       Without these people volunteering their time and/or money, my life could have been dramatically different.  Because of them I wanted to and needed to be a part of giving back and I knew any charities DUKAL chose would be a winner.
       I think I can speak for ALL of DUKAL and say that the little time it took to plan all the events doesn’t compare to the joy we felt participating and knowing that just the little time we gave we “Made a Difference” in someone’s life.
       Stay tuned for more information on DUKAL’s 2010 Make a Difference Campaign.

The New Era of DUKAL

- Written by Stephen Stack (Senior Graphic Artist)

      New address, new building...same quality! We have been at 2 Fleetwood Court, Ronkonkoma, NY since the end of April and things are finally starting to fall into place. Fleetwood Court is officially under construction!

      Our corporate sign in up on the lawn and contractors have come in and started to section off the building to create more space for all the departments of DUKAL Corporation.

        Our typical work day is business as usual but, with noise in the background. Saws are buzzing, hammers are hammering and walls are being knocked down. Annoying? ....Absolutely! but it's the sound of change and I can't help but to welcome it with open arms, knowing the final result will be something special.  

       Not really knowing what the final building will be like is exciting; and who doesn't want more space to work? Owner, Founder and President Gerry LoDuca has really out-done himself with the plans of renovations to 2 Fleetwood Court; and it's exciting to see his vision coming to life. With more space for each department and a fitness room for DUKAL employees to stay fit it's safe to say Gerry LoDuca is a president that cares about his employees. 

      I'm confident once construction is done here at 2 Fleetwood Court, the new home of DUKAL will make us more productive as a company and be a building that's very comfortable and inviting for all employees, customers and partners of DUKAL. This new building is a literal symbol of the growth of DUKAL and this is only just the beginning!
