Beginning of the Year Update from Charleston's Teacher of the Year


Happy New Year!  The students at West Ashley High School are excited about a new year and a new 2012 semester.  Students have finished exams and completed first semester!  They now have a chance to start fresh with new classes and new teachers. 

I would like to take this time to highlight and thank a unique club at our school that did a wonderful job supporting community awareness projects for the 2011 school year.  This is the West Ashley High School's Young Gentlemen's Club, and it is made up of outstanding young men that dress professionally on designated days and support community causes.  Last semester, they visited many elementary schools promoting and raising awareness to bullying.  Marcus Williams, a YGC member, would participate in book readings and activities to help raise awareness with elementary children.  It was a very successful activity supporting and giving back to the community.   Job well done, gentleman, and thank you for your support!

This photo is of the nicely dressed participants of West Ashley High School's Young Gentleman Club posing around the Volvo.  Thanks to Rick Hendrick Volvo, I get to enjoy this beautiful and shiny new car as 2011 CCSD Teacher of the Year.  The ride is sooooo smooth and the music on the MP3 player using my iPhone is sooooo enjoyable.  I have an iTunes account which is downloaded with many of my favorite Disco songs.  So, if you see a teacher riding down the street singing and dancing to Disco music and celebrating the success of the outstanding young men of WAHS's Young Gentleman's Club, you know who it is!  :)

Increasing your Volvo's Performance without Breaking the Bank

Now through March 31st, bring your car by on Saturdays for a Comlimentary Tire Rotation!!  In lieu of this wonderful deal, here's a few facts about rotating tires:

How often should tires be rotated?
It varies for each car make and ranges from every 5,000 to every 10,000 miles.  However, for Volvo, it's recommended that the tires be rotated roughly every 7,500 miles.

Effects
Since the front tires wear faster than the rear, rotating the tires evens out the wear between the front & rear, eradicating the potential for uneven wear and premature replacement

Perks
Extends the life of the tires, increases performance & guarantees safer handling.

Something to keep in mind...
Rotating the tires greatly increases the stability of the car which means the engine doesn't have to work as hard which means better gas mileage!   

Have any questions?  Need to make an appointment?  Give us a call!  (843) 402-6525!

A Time for Giving



This year, the Management Team at Rick Hendrick Imports and Volvo of Charleston, on behalf of all our employees, gave our Executive General Manager, Brad Davis,  what we hope will be a very special gift for Christmas.   We were able to provide a book for each child at CC Blaney Elementary School and books for the Media Center as well.  Brad and some of the staff went to CC Blaney Elementary School on Friday, December 16th to hand deliver books to each of the children.  For over 300 students that attend the school, a book was the perfect gift. 
Upon returning to the dealership, Brad Davis commented:  “I just got back from CC Blaney Elementary School and had the pleasure of passing out books to more than 300 appreciative students that range from Head Start (Age 2) to 6th Graders.   The smiles, thank yous, singing and hugs made this one of the best Christmas Presents I have ever received. “
We are proud to support our local Charleston County School District Schools and especially CC Blaney Elementary.   We have developed a special bond with the students and staff and are so proud of what they accomplish every day.  We look forward to our continued partnership and more opportunities for our employees and clients to get involved!
Happy Holidays from all of us at Volvo of Charleston!

Update from Charleston County Teacher of the Year, Eva Rutiri

As the Charleston County Teacher of the Year, I appreciate the partnership between Rick Hendrick Volvo of Charleston and Charleston County School District.  Every day, I enjoy a nice, quiet ride to and from work because of this dedicated business partnership established in our community.  A big “thank you” goes to Rick Hendrick Volvo for the opportunity to drive a beautiful car with a sporty look, not to mention the luxury and comfort the ride affords.  I’ve gotten so many nice compliments on the car and people especially perk up when I add that it is compliments of Rick Hendrick Volvo of Charleston!
Just like the successful partnership between Rick Hendrick Volvo and the Charleston County School District, local organizations like KidsFair are reaching out to our CCSD students to help serve the community, as well.  This year the Web Page Design & Development class at West Ashley High School celebrates our partnership with KidsFair.  Last year, the web design students helped to launch a web site dedicated to advertising this community-spirited event held in the spring each year.  I look forward to the days ahead as my students continue their work with KidsFair!
