 | Vol. 12 No. 167 - ISSN: 1533-3698 December 27, 2011 Dear People: With so many December holidays converging this year, I imagine most of you were busy preparing for and celebrating holidays. I know that I was although my husband and I had a low key holiday. I finish early most years because so much of what I prepare and buy needs to be sent all over the country - early. We do celebrate the holidays with a Christmas Eve (this year Friday) luncheon for our employees and their families. We close the company at noon and host everyone at a local tavern with a buffet and lots of games for the children. Our wonderful company activity committee plans and puts together events for employees every month. This year was the best lunch ever with the most in attendance. The fact that we held the event on the 23rd meant many more employees were able to attend. So, in the midst of all of the jolly, jolly, mine and yours if you celebrate a December holiday, I'd like to bring you up-to-date on what you missed. These were the most popular blog posts during the past week or so. Do you know that I write a new blog post every day? Check out the blog in the center column on my home page. Comments, questions, suggestions? Email Me. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, because you want to add value to their work and lives. Regards and wishing you and yours the best this week, Susan | |
