A Special SPACE Tree

Saturday Dec 26, 2009

I usually blog about how SPACE team members impact the external community, but this Christmas the SPACE team came together to support one of our own. 

One of our team had to have surgery and may need a second surgery.  He has been on unpaid leave for several weeks after he used up all his compensated time off.   To help his family, Carol suggested a “giving tree” filled with a variety of gift cards. 

SPACE team members got together and purchased all sorts of cards from Meijer, Walmart, gas stations and Target.  The tree was filled with red and white tags, miniature Christmas balls, and candy canes.  In addition, the company (thank you Kathie and Lisa) matched the gifts. 

So, the company core value of “community service” isn’t just for events that are more visible in the community.  It works quietly out of the public eye, too. 

What a great way to say “Merry Christmas” to a fellow employee!
