A great Day at work!

Day two of our National Sales meeting had all 400+ of us on the CMG

sales Team visiting different organizations around the community

for an afternoon of Volunteer service. My happy little group

ended up at the North Eastern North Carolina Second Harvest

Food Bank. It was awe-inspiring! The amount of food that is

Donated, which unfortunately isn't Enough, and the amount of

truly hard work accomplished by those Dedicated to managing and

promoting our local food bank is Unbelievable. One aspect of what

we learned today that Blew me away is the amount of donated food

that must be Thrown away. And... the great Expense this food costs the

food bank. You see...  Everything that comes into the Food bank has to

be weighed and sorted. So cleaning out your Pantry of all that stuff that

expired in 1998 to call it a Donation just ends up wasting valuable man-

power and money to sort and Dispose of it properly. So if you wouldn't eat

it or serve it to your Family, please don't donate it to your local food bank!  

What you see here is only one of Eight dumpsters we filled in just 4 hours!

What you see here is three of my fellow-Volunteers

Their job was to inspect donated Eggs for imperfections. Eggs

with hairline shell Cracks that you cannot see cannot be used  

Together, this group,which represented a third of us from HbI at the Food

Bank today, sorted and boxed up over 10,000 Pounds of donated food

The food we sorted today was Collected by local letter carriers!

Whether we're in the office or lending a Helping hand to

our community... At HbI, we're always having major fun!

At the end of our day there was a Live band, chair massages,

dinner and a Chocolate fountain waiting for us. My boss there

and I ended up at the Desert table at the same time!

He let me Go first!

I didn't rush the process!

After my dinner I came home to find my Ducky

trio waiting for their Dinner in the back yard

As soon as I put down the cracked corn they Waddled on over...

And told the Squirrel there to beat it!

I meant to show these to you last week... We had another Fantastic

employee sale at work. I love our employee sales! Especially when

my sweet friends invite me to Help and I get to unpack some of the

goodies! Goodies like these shoes bought for a Fashion show and

worn by models once, for five minutes. They're Nine West, Banana

Republic... And this time, every pair I found was in My size! 

I couldn't wait to wear these Banana sandals to the sales meeting today!
