Sonya is always fantastic to work with and this year she has gone above and beyond to recruit co-workers to be part of the team greeting festival goers at the Interior Savings Fat Cat Children's Festival. Thanks Sonya - you rock! And thanks to your wonderful co-workers for signing up to. It's going to be great to see the Interior Savings team in action, making community and supporting families.
