Oct. 17, 2005 – Choice Communications, LLC, in collaboration with the Government of The U.S. Virgin Islands, Division of Personnel, has designated the month of October as "Choice V.I. Government Employee Appreciation Month." During this month, the efforts of the men and women of the V.I. Government who help keep the Virgin Islands operating will be recognized. As a show of thanks to all of these hardworking individuals, Choice has created an exclusive offer for V.I. Government Employees. All employees will be eligible to receive no installation fees or deposit fees plus 30 days of free movie channels on Choice Wireless Digital TV! Additionally, those employees interested in High-Speed Wireless DSL service will also receive free installation and $15 off the first three months of service.
"This is just our small way of saying thank you", said Choice Communications chief executive officer Steven Parrish. "We recognize that for the average consumer the cost of everything is going up. However, V.I. families still rely heavily upon services like TV and High-Speed Internet. Therefore, Choice wants to show our appreciation to all of the V.I. Government employees by providing them with a huge break on services offered by Choice."
"We are pleased that Choice has partnered with us on a project which seeks to recognize the efforts of our employees," says Kevin Rodriguez, director of The V.I. government's Division of Personnel. "We are obviously in support of this or any program which assists our hardworking government employees with the rising cost of living expenses. This program is intended to reward our territory's public servants."
Interested V.I. government employees are encouraged to come into any of Choice Communications' Customer Service Centers on St. Thomas or St. Croix, present a valid V.I. Government I.D., checkstub, or other proof of employment, to receive these exclusive benefits.
"We clearly recognize the importance of the various governmental agencies such as Police, Fire, Health, and all of the departments which provide vital services to the people of the Virgin Islands," adds Kevin Hughes, Choice Communications general manager of sales. "The staff at Choice wishes to do our part in also thanking all of the employees of the V.I. Government for their daily efforts in making the Virgin Islands a great place to live! If Choice can help to make life in the V.I. a little easier and better by providing our high-quality products like our television service or DSL service at affordable rates, well then that's a good thing! I hope that many people will take advantage of what we are offering."
"Choice service is broadly available across St. Thomas and St. Croix but some areas are still not lucky enough to receive it due to tower site restriction," Parrish said. People are asked to call Choice or check the St. Croix map to see if there is coverage in your area.
