UNITED WAY DRIVE--FOOD DRIVE--AGENCY WIDE
A
Thank You like this is usually difficult to write. Not because it is hard to
thank people, but because you might leave out someone who contributed greatly
to your effort, and that leads to hard feelings … so I am taking a risk here as
I attempt to thank a few individuals who seemed to provide some ‘above and
beyond’ effort…
Cel Paquette … what can we say? You won more prizes than anybody
in the history of MoCo raffles… I think! BUT… you gave a great deal too… your
time (organizing the food drive at your Arsenal program) shopping for the food
you contributed, and you and your team assembling the generous food donated by
your team, into a snowman (maybe the only ‘snow’ we will see for the rest of
2011?)
I thank you for making
your work fun, and being so free to share your resources. Thank-you Heidi
Olson for drawing Cel’s tickets out of the basket … multiple times!
I want to
thank the folks who provided ‘brawn’… some real onsite muscle for the lifting,
transporting, loading/unloading. In other words the grunt work! Thank-you
William Haiss for moving all of the food into the hallway, only to find out it
couldn’t be delivered…yet! Patience, served you well!
Thank-you John Painter and Anne Berry for the Hospital Street
Moving Company… loading up the elevator with heavy boxes over and over and
over!
Thank-you Chele for wrestling the heavy stuff and organizing the
load! Organizing and execution of the Agency Wide…Organizers are invaluable!
And, Tim
Dougherty. I bet you didn’t know what
you were getting into when you ‘volunteered’ to help! Manual labor- that’s for
sure! Kristen McAuslin we appreciate your help… showing up for the fire drill
and the actual delivery and the use of your vehicle. That held quite a load!
Programs
showed a robust effort this year with their donations: The DDDS Team brought in
bags and boxloads… it meant so much to the Food Bank. They wanted to know if we
could ‘drop by every Monday!’ Well…
Various
prizes were awarded to raffle ticket holders. Those who donated to the United
Way or a food item were all awarded tickets and did not need to be present to
win. Hannaford Cards, Irving Cards, a Red Barn Gift Card, and Senator Inn Spa prizes
were awarded just to name a few… Mighty Clean did a Mighty Clean Up in that
category too!
Thanks to
Case Managers who reached the goal of 100% participation this year in pledges
to the United Way Campaign!
Thank-you to everybody from those who gave a dollar per
week to the United Way Campaign and to those who gave their first can or box to
the food bank. It all matters and it is all appreciated by those in need.
So what is our current total in pledges?
Glad you asked…
$9291.00 that is… NINE THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-ONE DOLLARS!!!! We have until the end of the month… in
case someone out there wants to help us reach TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS???
Thank you.
Thanks a million.

SUMMER 2011
MoCo's Annual Employee Appreciation Day: Affectionately Known as "The Picnic!"
It’s that time again!
MoCo’s Annual Employee Appreciation Day is fast approaching and we are changing it up a bit this year with a new venue and lots of activities!
There will be a lot of space for lounging, badminton, whiffle ball, and a playground for the kiddos.
Picnic tables to eat at, and indoor seating will be available for cooling off, but if you want, bring a camp chair or two and stake out a nice spot under a shade tree and enjoy the festivities.
Because of a generous donation, there will be no charge for children to attend this year.
**Remember to register by July 20th! Employees only...one paid guest per employee (not including children.)
