Have a happy and safe Halloween from everyone at SEES.

Coral Springs firefighters made a special delivery inside an elevator at Coral Springs Medical Center on Saturday afternoon.

A pregnant woman’s water broke as she shopped for shoes at the Coral Square Mall about 2 p.m. Four of the firefighters rushed the woman into the hospital and then into an elevator, headed for the delivery unit on the second floor.

But as soon as the doors shut, the baby started coming out. By the time the elevator reached the second floor and the doors opened, the baby was almost fully out, and the firefighters finished the delivery in the hospital hallway, said Mike Matonak, one of the firefighters.

Mother and the girl were doing fine.

Recently, while working on a fund raiser to provide relief supplies for hurricane victims, I was introduced to a group that collects caps and scarves for children at St. Jude and Joe DiMaggio cancer treatment centers. Over the years I’ve amassed quite a collection of hats from the SEES supplier companies that we work with and represent. I could not think of a more fitting use for the caps than to be given to those courageous children, rather than sitting on my shelf. I am quite sure every one of the companies that have shared one with me will be proud to know that their promotional hats will serve such a helpful purpose. As I packed them up for the trip to their new assignments, I stopped to consider the great business relationships SEES enjoys with those companies and how, along with our own manufacturing departments, they help us to be the largest independent parts distributor in the industry. As the “one stop shop” for your parts requirements, we represent the finest manufacturers and products available worldwide. I hope that the hats, with the emblems of our partner suppliers are a small part of big successes for those children and that at SEES, you’ll find the resources necessary to get your jobs done.
