Local Message Board Asks Date to High School Prom

SPRINGFIELD, VA, September 28, 2010 – Josh M. of West Springfield High School took creativity to a new level when he used Interstate Worldwide Relocation Services’ marquee sign to ask his date to the Homecoming Dance. As Amy, his prospective date and a fellow student at West Springfield High School, ran past the Interstate building for field hockey practice warm up, Josh awaited her arrival underneath the sign that read: ‘Amy, Will you go to Homecoming with me?’

While Josh waited with roses in hand, Amy ran by, as anticipated and greeted Josh with a big hug and ‘Yes!’ Interstate, an advocate of community development and involvement was eager to help Josh accomplish his idea. Interstate wishes Amy and Josh a safe and fun Homecoming together.
