By: Jacob Wellock   Number One: Encourage Other Members   One of the most important things in the Welded community is the community. One of the best ways to develop relationships and make others feel good about what they are doing.

By: Sabrina Blajos   Along with the nice weather that is coming more often, comes all those outdoor activities, BBQ’s, happy hours, and etc. Summer is meant for fun and time with friends and family. But with fun comes inconsistency.   Its really easy to get caught up with yours summer activities.  With those days of fun in the sun You’ll start getting in the habit of saying “I’ll go tomorrow”, or “I’ll wake up early and go.” You worked so hard during the winter to make all those #gains, you don’t want to lose them.
