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 motivation 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 cam- pus for a period of time. This is a hard position, with a lot of responsibility and many people to satisfy with accuracy. Me, my attorneys, the bankers that support the campus, the IRS, audi- tors and our many employees. "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 nor- mally have been at church on a Saturday, he often came out and dedicated time to the Dragon Boat races for the Chil- dren’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 appreciate it.” Then we would have a serious con- versation 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 com- passion and mercy on his dear wife and family. May 22, 1948 - July 27, 2016

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 motivation 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 cam-pus for a period of time. This is a hard position, with a lot of responsibility and many people to satisfy with accuracy. Me, my attorneys, the bankers that support the campus, the IRS, audi-tors and our many employees. "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 nor-mally have been at church on a Saturday, he often came out and dedicated time to the Dragon Boat races for the Chil-dren’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 appreciate it.” Then we would have a serious con-versation 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 com-passion and mercy on his dear wife and family. May 22, 1948 - July 27, 2016

Employee Recognition

Collector of Month – Kimberly Sexton (on left) was the top recovery collector for Ju-ly. Kim has been with us for al-most 2 years and she has main-tained a top 10 status this year.

file. Kim scored 100% on her compliance audits this month, setting an example for her mentee’s. She also provided crea-tive input for our Incentive Team this month. Kim is an asset

to our department and very deserving of this recognition.

Rookie of Month – Clayton Hardin (on

right) achieved the highest average size payment of any Call Center Collector for July. Clayton has been with our department for less than a year, but he has shown that he is committed to being a strong member of our Collection Team. We look forward to watching his growth and success with

our department.

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, hamburgers

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. However for way to long these hero’s that have served our country and kept us safe; have often themselves lost eve-rything 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 en-tire 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 em-ployees 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!
