Meet Rodney and Tammi Richardson (Dover, DE). "Being former Air
Force, my wife and I had been looking for a program to rally around. Once we heard about GAC, we
knew this was the one to volunteer for."
Rodney works at a large manufacturing plant and many people he works with don't have internet.
He takes orders and collects money from plant workers, places an order for the group then
distributes the coins. His company has allowed him to talk about the program in meetings
and display the coins. He has sold and distributed over 225 coins with the help of his wife
Tammi. Rodney also got approval from a retailer near Dover Speedway to set up a table for 3
days during race weekend. Rodney's goal was to advertise/promote GAC and sell coins.
