There was no job opening at first, but I was patient and have not regretted my decision. Tell us about your job and why you like it here. When I first started at OSI in September 2012, I was a job coach. I went with the Schreiber crew for several months before I was sent with a new crew to Staples. We packed sodas and then branched out to paper towels, toilet paper, and toners. They are a very hard working crew and I enjoyed being their job coach. I became a Floor Supervisor in March 2013 and have enjoyed the clients and staff tremendously. Even if some days, I do not feel like being at work, that all changes as soon as the clients walk through the door. They are such an inspiration and a joy to be around. Tell us about what you enjoy doing or about any hobbies.

Exceptional People - Exceptional Results In Production, we’re embarking on a new project with local manufacturer DL Martin of Mercersburg. After months of planning and logistics, we are at last seeing the fruits of our labor. Our kitted hardware packs will be inserted with elevators produced at DL Martin and shipped to customers. It’s a Jeremy Waechter wonderful partnership with a Production Manager local company and provides a constant flow of work for our clients! This job marks a gentle shift in our business, as we are now classified as the construction trade in general. During their search for a new distribution partner, the folks at Volvo began researching OSI as a potential candidate. Since then, we’ve met several times to discuss logistics and fulfillment, while at the same time, showcasing the vast abilities of our clients and staff to meet production demands. Shortly after, Volvo approved OSI as sole distributor of Spirit to all points in the United States as well as Canada. Over 12,000 issues of the magazine will be distributed quarterly after they arrive from overseas. And this will all happen RIGHT HERE! We’re very excited at the prospect! Kitted hardware packs for DL Martin as “vendor” instead of simply “fulfillment center”. This change will have us managing our own inventory and acting as sole supplier for a variety of part numbers. With weekly deliveries to DL Martin, we’ll be replenishing their inventory on a normal rotation. This “Just In Time” approach minimizes the inventory DL Martin needs to keep on hand while allowing our clients to build ahead, creating an inventory to cover fluctuations in retail sales. OSI will also launch a new project with Volvo Construction Equipment in May, distributing their Spirit Magazine to North America. This highquality trade magazine offers insight into Volvo’s products as well We have 15 non or low fat flavors daily along with over 40 toppings to choose from. Pay by the ounce, try something new every time you come! Much healthier than the alternatives of ice cream and other desserts, but your taste buds still won’t be disappointed! 1660 Lincoln Way East Chambersburg, PA 717-709-9003 Intellectual Disabilities Awareness Special Event March was ID Awareness Month.
