Cell Phones For Soldiers

march-2008-028.jpg

We have begun receiving old cell phones from our employee. This program was started by Robbie and Brittany Berquist of Nowell, Massachussetts. For every old phone sent in to be recycled, AT&T will provide a one hour phone card for a soldier. We ask our employees to bring all their old cell phones to Human Resources. Not only is this a great way to give back to our troops, but it is a great green initiative as well. For more information please visit www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com.

These Photo don’t even come close to realize the devastation left behind by tornado’s ripping through downtown Atlanta and Cabbagetown on Friday night. If you would like to help those who have been effected by this horrible event, go to the Red Cross or Salvation Army sites and see how you can contribute.

Today we had a very special celebration. As of March 12th, Dave D. has been with the company 6 years! The longest serving employee, besides our CEO and President of course. Not only has he earned a cake, certificate and gift card, but after 5 years with the company, he has received 3 weeks of paid vacation! Now that’s a great benefit.

This week has been full of treats. Monday, Jeff brought us Girl Scout Cookies to feast on. On Tuesday, Bill was so kind to bring muffins in for all of us. And last but not least, Wednesday, Sandra picked up ice cream cake for March Birthdays and Company Anniversaries. On that note, a round of applause for the following:

March Birthdays: Mark and Charles

March Anniversaries: Matt E., Dave, Penny, and Neil

Lost Bike

found-bike-1.jpg found-bike-2.jpg

My oh my, what a sturdy bike. Yesterday, Sandra noticed something in the woods near our building. It just happened to be an abandoned little girls bike. We have decided to give it a warm home until we can find someone who might be interested in it. With a little sanding, paint, and wash, this bike will be good as new. We have posted the bike on Free Cycle, a great list-serve to belong to if you want to be more green. It is an initiative to stop putting unwanted items in the landfills, but rather give it away for free to others who could use it. If you haven’t signed on, you should right away!
