This summer at Volacci was busy and eventful. Ben finished his book, and traveled from coast to coast exercising his speaking skills and preaching the benefits of SEO and Drupal. Our family grew as we added an Assistant for Ben, an IMC, a Writer , and a Social Media Evangelist to the team. With the addition of new team members came a lack of space, and so Volacci had to find some new digs. The other benefit to rounding out our numbers was having enough football fanatics to fill out a Volacci fantasy football league. We also went through a little more than 400 interns this summer which I think is a new world record, but we’re waiting for that to be verified.

With all Volacci had going on it was very easy to stay focused on our own small world. Luckily, our own Erik Wagner put his event planning and philanthropic skills to work. Erik arranged for Volacci to participate in the Habitat for Humanity program here in Austin. The Volacci team headed out early on a rainy Saturday morning to help out in any way we could. Most of the guys in the office took the messy, grunt work of digging holes in the muddy ground for fence posts. I think Luke Stenis won the award for dirtiest Volaccian. Others ended up on the inside painting, and Erik and Andrew caught some grief for looking a little too clean at the end of the day. All in all it was a great time, and the best part was giving a little back to the awesome Austin community we all love so much.
