All of us at Louisville Switching Truck Services wish you a Happy Thanksgiving

November 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Happy Thanksgiving from Louisville SwitchingWe take time most weeks to write about topics like reburbished Ottawa trucks, Ottawa truck parts, Cummins Engines, Insta-Chain Automatic Ice Chains, and even about our many services.

From time to time, we update you on members of our team, or retired team members who’ve been added to our Employee Hall of Fame.

We post blogs about local events, fundraisers, and Riverport Business Association activities.

We thought this week we’d put all that aside and just tell you and yours to have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Take time to reflect on all the things you’re grateful for: the freedoms we have, the blessings we enjoy that others around the world don’t always experience, and the family and relationships which mean so much to us.

So eat some Turkey and dressing. Sure, have a piece of pumpkin pie too. Enjoy some catching up with those you love, enjoy some football, and last but not least, spur on the economy Friday—just don’t let us catch you on the news knocking people over at Target or Walmart.

From our family to yours,

Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. We do our part to make Thanksgiving happen by supplying the trucks to a local turkey processor. Bet you didn’t realize that…

Light up Riverport golf scrambleThe annual Riverport Business Association Golf Scramble is just weeks away. This event is in its 7th year and raises money for Riverport lighting.

Here are the event details:
When: Saturday, September 24, 2011
Where: Iroquois Golf Course

Last year, 18 teams competed in the 2010 Light-up Riverport Golf Scramble and it was the largest field of competitors in the history of the tournament.

This year, we have 28 teams already committed to play, which means we only have room for two more teams! The maximum number of teams that can play is 30 due to the number of carts needed.

Also new this year, the Riverport Business Association (RBA) will put up a brand new Harley Davidson “Fat Boy Lo” Motorcycle as the winning prize for a Hole-in-One at hole #18.

Individual golfers are $80.00 each.

Hole sponsorships are $200.00 and include: one free player, company name on sign at tee box, company name in program.

Golf and Sweden in July—an annual tradition

August 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Annual Sweden golf tripWe write a lot—well, mostly about business on our blog. We write about Ottawa truck parts, Ottawa refurbishments, Insta Chain Automatic Icechains, trends in our industry, and events like the Mid America Truck Show.

We thought we’d take time this week to recognize our fearless leader, Don Robinson, and the annual commitment he makes each July. For several years, Don has been traveling around the world to Sweden to conduct golf camps for the youth of Sweden. The trip is sponsored by Southeast Christian Church in combination with Sport 4 Life Ministry of Sweden. Golf and athletics in general are passions of the Swedes. The Christian church…well not so much. That’s where Don brings two of his loves together for one amazing trip. If you know Don very well at all, you know how important his faith and the game of golf are to him. This trip combines both, so we can understand why he looks so forward to it each year.

Well another one is in the books. If you follow Don on Facebook you can see a lot of the photos and memories from this year’s trip and trips past.

Life is more than business, but we’ll get back to talking shop next post.

Community events coming up

April 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Louisville Switching Truck Sales believes in community. We believe in supporting our local community and try to do so in several ways. Other times we try to reach around the world and make things a little better.

Two events we sponsor each year are the Sport 4 Life Golf Scramble in June at Nevel Meade Golf Course and the Southeast Christian Sweden Mission Trip. In the first event Louisville Switching Truck Sales sponsors a team and a golf hole and in the second, our President Don Robinson spends 10 days helping run a golf camp in Sweden.

If you have a business that would like to support the ministry of Sport 4 Life by sponsoring a golf hole or a team then leave us a comment below or contact us online for more information. If you’d like to help sponsor a golf camp instructor in their personal fundraising for the trip then you can do the same.

We’ll have more information available by Middle May on both events.
