Veyo Works From Home – Episode 4
April 24, 2020
This week’s featured story has a little homemade touch to it. Our EVP of Technology, Michael Singer, has been working with his twins to create homemade art for their local postal workers. They make new art each week and leave it out for anyone delivering mail or packages to their house. And they were featured this week in their local paper!
