DID YOU KNOW:

During the Christmas of 2010, the Colombian government

covered the jungle trees with lights. When FARC guerrillas

(terrorists) walked by, the trees lit up and banners asking them to lay down their arms became

visible. 331 guerrillas re-entered society and the

campaign won an award for

“Strategic marketing excellence”.

Happy Holidays!!!

TIS THE SEASON for fun and laughter! I hope you are all ready for the cooler weather.

The planters at our entrances are once again decorated for you to enjoy! The fresh smells of the evergreens will fill us with the Holiday spirit.

Please remember when walking around the facility to be careful when its snowing or icy conditions, walk slowly for your safety. Wearing proper footwear will help you in the bad weather.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas!

From the Environmental Team!
