2015 AFC High School Careers Class Work Program The AFC High School Careers Class is back at Crest! For the past few years the AFC High School Careers Class has gone through the entire hiring process with HR at Crest Foods, including an interview and orientation. After interviews and a new employee orientation, we start them up with their job assignment in the Sanitation depart- ment at Crest. For 1 hour a day, every other day, for 3 months, stu- dents treat their time at Crest as a regular job. They have to clock in on time, wear a uniform, and participate in the normal weekly tasks of their department, which could include anything ranging from mopping floors to washer/dryer duty.
Thank you to Kellie Engle, Daniel Ortiz, Jonathan Long, and Ali- syn Essex for their time and efforts in our Sanitation department. Also, thank you to our A-shift Sanitation department for taking the time to train students and ensure that they not only learn the tasks of the job, but also the importance of a good attitude, good atten- dance, and how to have a little fun at work.

Walking Club is Back! by Jamie Wilcox & Erika Meiners Warmer weather means it’s time to get outside and do some walking and running! The Walk- ing Club will be back in action starting this May, and we are excited to get some exercise and raise money for local charities! Last year, this group raised $8,360.00 for the Home of Hope in Dixon – just by participating in local 5K events.
This year, we will be raising money for the Serenity Hospice and Home in Oregon, which provides dignity and care to the terminally ill and their families. While we hope to never have to endure the loss of someone we love, we are fortunate to have a wonderful organization in our area that can help families through such difficult times. We are happy to be giving back to an organization that has touched so many of the employees at Crest over the years. We will be participating in 7 events, starting with the Make-a-Wish 5K in Dixon on May 16th. Events will then take us to the towns of Oregon, Rock Falls, Byron, Ashton, and Amboy, and will support local groups like Make-a- Wish (Dixon), the Ashton Community Fund, Dixon Athletic Boosters, Dixon Main Street, Dixon Park District, YMCA Strong Kids (Dixon), the Amboy Education Foundation, the Whiteside County Food Bank, the Oregon High School Athletic Department, and Oregon Village of Progress. Schedules and Walking Club information will be available soon at Crest. If you haven’t participated before, Crest will pay all entry fees, and for every event that you participate in, Crest will put $20 into our fund for the Serenity Hospice and Home! Crest will also be paying a $1000.00 bonus to the fund if our runners win any of the Corpo- rate Challenges at the races this year (last year, they won 2 events)! Contact Erika Meiners (x201) or Jamie Wilcox (x270) if you need anything or have any questions, and we hope that everyone can join us this year!
