TDS sponsors event thanking 819th Red Horse Squadron
GREAT FALLS, Montana – TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) was proud to be the title sponsor of an event supporting the 819th Red Horse Squadron today, Jan. 5. TDS joined other local businesses and the 819th Red Horse Key Spouses to serve a hot breakfast for members of the squadron at Malmstrom Air Force Base.
The Key Spouses support the Squadron through networking events with other military families, various morale-boosting efforts, and helping connect the Squadron to the community. For Friday’s event, members Bailey Frint, Riley Cahill, Nina Norwalt, and Anahi Reader coordinated donations, catering, and setup.
"The Key Spouses are extremely thankful for all of the businesses who helped bring this event together," Frint said.
Steven Arnoux, a field service technician with TDS, was one of the volunteers at the event. Arnoux served in the United States Marine Corps and is a member of TDS’ Patriot Associate Resource Group, a sub-community within the larger company workforce for Veterans, current military service members, first responders, and non-military supporters.
TDS Telecom supports local veterans through various efforts, including sponsoring the Montana Vet Program's Knuckle Buster Obstacle Challenge and Military Appreciation Night at the Big Sky Pro Rodeo.
"Helping those on active duty is a perfect way to start my morning before work," Arnoux said. "I want to thank all of the businesses who contributed to this collaboration and give another huge thanks to members of the 819th Red Horse for their continued service.”
