One of our beloved teammates will be heading into a well-earned retirement soon ❤️

While we’re excited for her, it also means we’re on the hunt for someone new to join our crew.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys helping people, brings a friendly attitude to work each day, and wants to be part of a collaborative, team-oriented environment. If that sounds like you or someone you know, we’d love your help spreading the word.

Strong communities don’t happen by accident. They’re built by people and organizations who care. Our team is proud to support the Jensen Community Center's expansion project and appreciate the role they play in making this a great place to live, work, and do business.

Ray Tetzloff, Amherst Communications CEO, along with Karissa Yehling, Customer Service Representative, and Andy Kreczner, Network Administrator, presented a donation to Brent Frankenoff, Executive Director of the Jensen Center this past week.

If you’ve ever called in with an Internet or TV issue, there’s a good chance you’ve met Otto.

Otto is one of two Trouble Technicians on staff at Amherst Communications. Translation? If something isn’t working quite right, he's your guy. While a good chunk of technology issues can be resolved by simply unplugging the device, finding the root cause of a more complex problem is one of the things Otto enjoys most.

Beyond that, he'll tell you he likes getting to know our customers. Whether they share his love of antiquing or just have a good story to tell, he enjoys the personal interactions.

This week, Otto celebrates 36 years with us! While he says Amherst Communications will always be the “Phone company” to him, the technology has come a long way since he first started as an installer. After years spent both out in the field and working in the Central Office, he’s been through decades of evolution, and that experience certainly serves him well in his role today.

Introducing Magnus!

We met this adorable Terrier/Jack Russel mix at the Adams County Humane Society in Friendship, Wisconsin this week.

He's a bit timid at the moment, but brave enough to look for a foster home (preferably adult only), where he'd benefit from some gentle exposure to the sounds and routines of home life. A house with another small dog could help him build some much-needed confidence. Despite his current introvert tendencies, he asked us to share that he can be motivated by a hot dog treat. 🙂

What to know about fostering:
- Applicants are pre-screened to ensure a good fit for the animal.
- All food and vet expenses are covered by the shelter.
- Foster families will need to be available to bring the pet back to the shelter for scheduled meet and greets with potential adopters.

Meet Gurgi. Your new work-from-home companion! The team at Waupaca Humane- Humane Society of Waupaca County estimate her to be 3-4 years old. She's a pretty chill coworker but will need to be brushed regularly. Her only other ask: a sunny window to call her own.

These cats are gonna need a home with a solid Internet connection!

Meet Elphaba and Glinda, WICKEDly cute sisters and only 10 months old. We met them at the Waushara County Animal Shelter this week and could tell right away they'd be perfect match for one of our customers. They're opposites in personality (Elphaba's a little more laid back, and Glinda is all about the spotlight) but equally deserving of a cozy place to land.
