 What Did You Do This Summer?

As summer comes to a close, it becomes time to reflect on the season just passed. Many of our customers went on exciting and exotic trips this summer and we would like to hear about them. If you went somewhere or did something exciting, please call Account Manager Ralph Santoni. Your adventure may make into a future newsletter!

Messenger What?!

Not long ago, a Breakaway messenger was asked to rush a delivery at the speed of light. It turned out that this vital package contained a key to the executive washroom that had been inadvertently taken off the premises. This is just one example of the kinds of things that we pickup and deliver every day. What is the strangest thing that you have ever had delivered by messenger? Give us a call and let us know. (PS: the much-relieved president of the company thanked the messenger profusely.)

 Labor Day Thanks

Labor Day is once again upon us. We would like to thank our hardworking messengers, office staff and valued customers who make all our jobs possible. Breakaway will be closed Monday, September 6th 1999. Have a great holiday!
