MORNING VISITATION

GNOEA held a morning visitation on Tuesday, March 20th with Vince Gremillion, Restech Information Service. Restech Information Service was founded in 1992 and recently moved to their new building at 220 Phlox Avenue, next to East Jefferson High School in Metairie. The building once housed chip-maker, Charlie’s Chips. The former potato chip building has been completely refinished into a creative modern work space.

RESTECH is committed to delivering an enterprise class offering of secure design and management to the SMB market. They take the time to understand your business and ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your mission critical applications of data through expert analysis, remediation and ongoing managed services. Specifically, they focus on the development of solutions addressing issues in information security, connectivity, storage and enterprise systems areas.

We wish to thank Joey & Vita DiMaggio, both with the Rose Garden of Jefferson for catering our breakfast with fresh baked sandwich biscuits, muffins, danish, fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee & juice. As part of our hosting the event this morning, Vince Gremillion held a give-away of a HP Folio 13 Notebook. Just 18 millimeters thin and weighing just 3.3 lbs., this is one of the newest mobile notebooks in the HP lineup. They announced the winner of the notebook giveaway as Rene Dupaquier from Crane Builders of New Orleans!!!

GNOEA would like to thank Vince & his staff for allowing us to visit with them.
