Larry H. Miller Employees Day of Service: a day to honor Larry H. Miller, a known philanthropist who felt strongly about improving the communities where his companies are located and often quoted the phrase, “Go about doing good until there’s too much good in the world.”Thank you LHM employees who volunteered their time in 2014 for several endeavors of service around Tucson. Our volunteers felt a sense of pride working together to improve the community and had fun performing tasks such as repairing books for our youths lending library to assisting with the construction of affordable homes for families in need. Our goal for ‘2015s’ Day of Service is to have 100 volunteers participate in giving back to our community; sign up for locations to serve will be posted in early April.
