Aronson Ads Steps up to the Plate

BTC Softball Team

With spring already here, everybody has been wanting to spend more time outside to enjoy the few bursts of warm weather and sunshine we’ve seen over the past few weeks. Here at Aronson Advertising, our employees have decided to take advantage of this weather by putting together a softball team that will compete in a local corporate league. To celebrate the Opening Day tomorrow, April 20th, we’ve asked our team to answer a handful of softball themed questions. Here’s what they had to say.
