Dedicated ING Volunteers Help at the CT Trolley Museum as Part of United Way Volunteer Day
United Way Volunteer Day, May 27, 2010. 11 employees from ING came and emptied two storage rooms, assembled steel shelving and organized all the items from the rooms and put them back on the shelves. They worked very hard but had a great time despite the heat. We thank them very, very much.
