“I was truly touched when Maria Fidelibus informed me that QuickChek had chosen Alternatives as the beneficiary of their annual golf outing. At that time, I had no idea of the extent of that generosity, let alone the overwhelming success of the event. This donation means so much to our clients! At a time when we are all tightening our belts, this act of generosity is particularly important,” said Nancy Good, President, Alternatives, Inc.
Fidelibus is a long-time member of Alternatives, Inc.’s board of trustees.
