  1. Apps For Memorial Day Weekend

    May 22, 2013 by

    Memorial Day Cookout AppsMemorial Day is about remembering the men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

    And it has also come to signal the beginning of summertime festivities.  This three-day holiday weekend, families will enjoy outdoor concerts, fireworks, backyard barbecues, and so much more.

    So as the thermometer finally rises (hopefully to stay), it’s time to fire up that grill, pack a picnic, and go play outside!  And check out these apps that will help you make the most of your Memorial Day weekend with family and friends.

    Steak Grilling Timer & Recipes

    Your days of under- or over-cooking steaks are over. This free iOS grilling app is your new outdoor best friend!

    Medium-rare for Uncle Bob? Check. Well-done for Grandma Sue? Got it. This app takes orders and tells you exactly when to flip, sear, remove from direct heat and more. It even gives you sound alerts in case a game of Cornhole or Kan Jam happens to distract you from grilling duty! (more…)

  4. nTelos Cares About Richmond Charities

    May 13, 2013 by

    Wow! What a great couple of days it has been at nTelos Wireless. We just wrapped up two great nTelos Cares programs with local charities in the Richmond and Hampton Roads areas.

    Through the program, nTelos Wireless partners with local bloggers to raise awareness and funds for charitable organizations.  For each Facebook like, share, or re-tweet about the program, nTelos donates $1 to a selected charity in the community.

    In Richmond, nTelos partnered with RichmondMom.com to select three deserving charities and start the fundraising contest.

    Last week at the check presentation event, we had the pleasure of meeting with representatives from Talk About Curing Autism Now (TACA), Safe Harbor, and The Children’s Heart Foundation. There were tons of adorable little ones running around that made the occasion even more fun!

    TACA was the big winner and was presented with a check for $1,500! They couldn’t be more thrilled to use these funds to help support local families that care for individuals with autism. Navigating the system can be difficult, and TACA is there to help be a guiding resource.

    Safe Harbor and The Children’s Heart Foundation were runners up in the nTelos Cares program and each received checks for $500.
