It will be easier to keep the floors clean at Camden's new AutomotiveTechCenter, part of the Respond, Inc.  A self-propelled floor scrubber has been donated to the NewWorkerJobDevelopmentCenter at 924 & 925 N. 8th St.Camden, NJ, serving four work bays and three classrooms.

The new battery-operated scrubber, valued at $6,500, was manufactured by Tennant Company of Minneapolis and donated through the assistance of Nick Nicolay, former president of the Rotary Club of Haddonfield.

 T he self-propelled unit will help the maintenance staff at the training center keep the floors spotlessly "clean and safe" for students and faculty alike and includes hands-on training of Respond personnel, detergent, polishing pads and scrubbing pads for tile and concrete floors in the CulinaryArtsCenter.

  Thanks again to Tom Menegus, Bob Butterick and Harry Gwynne  of Tennant Co. for their time and knowledgeable training on this productive piece of hard surface maintenance equipment. It will be put to good use by Jose and others in helping to keep the AutoTechCenter and other locations clean and safe.
