It's a Transitional Weekend - Out with July and In with August


It is hard to believe that Saturday marks the end of the July 2010 and August
begins on Sunday. We have had a busy year thus far. For Carole and I, we
celebrate our 23Rd wedding anniversary this weekend.

What if we need a Short Pole?


A recent question on Gary Mauer's World Group asked, the following question...

What company manufactures the shortest pole for pure water window cleaning?

FYI, we can reduce the handle length on any of our 4 foot, 6 foot and 12 foot handles, as a Tucker Pole customer mentioned he did on Gary's World group site. We have replacement parts for just about anything. One of the advantages of aluminum is that it can be customized and it makes repairs in the field a possible option too.

Have a great weekend.

Sincerely,

Robin Tucker

'Building Communities -- Bridging Continents' is 2010-11 RI theme



'Building Communities -- Bridging Continents' is the 2010-11 RI theme for Rotary International. Robin is a third generational member of Rotary International, following his grandfather, I.L. 'Irv' Tucker and his father, I.L. 'Tommy' Tucker. We have all been affiliated with the Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids, which will celebrate 100 years in Rotary in 2014, at one time or another.

As Rotarians, we work to meet The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do...
  • FIRST: Is it the TRUTH?
  • SECOND: Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  • THIRD: Will it build GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIP?
  • FOURTH: Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Over the years, our Tucker® Pole Window Washers and Exterior Maintenance Systems have been sustainable products helping organizations big and small reach, wash and clean various exterior surfaces. The Tucker® High-Level Window Washers, the original in the Waterfed industry, offer a variety of models that reach up to 22, 45 and 83 feet.

The 2010-11 RI Theme feels appropriate for our company too. We have been 'Bridging Continents' with our products for nearly 50 years, exporting our products to over 25 different countries in recent years. We want to thank our customers globally for there business and the opportunity to be of service in 'Building Communities' in various ways we serve.
