Independence Day 2019 Midyear Recap
John Adams wrote of Independence Day as a day that “will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival” to include “Pomp and Parade…Games, Sports, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other.” While we enjoy all of the festivities and traditions of the day with friends and family, we would also like to reflect on why we celebrate.
Independence Day represents the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and remembering the brave men and women that have made that possible.
We are grateful for this day and the freedom it has given us. This freedom has allowed us to continue growing year after year, not only as a company, but in growing opportunities for employees and support across the communities we live and work in.
What Does Our Growth & Success Look Like?
Rhyme Partners with Forward Madison FC
Rhyme is proud to announce our partnership with Forward Madison FC, a professional soccer team based in Madison, Wisconsin at the historical Breese Stevens Field. The team is playing its inaugural season this year, competing in the third division of the US soccer league system, USL League One. Each home features the Rhyme Community Connection, highlighting a local non-profit in our area! The Forward Madison team is a great, family-friendly addition to the community, and we are grateful to be part of their success.
