On the 23rd my Dad, my husband Pete and myself went to Crest Foods to meet with a group of co-workers to go caroling for Fran (Warkins), who was staying at her daughter’s house. It was very humbling. Now it is Christmas Eve and I have everybody coming over Christmas Day. With 14 people, I did a lot of preparation as I was doing a buffet with salad, main meal and dessert. Dad helped with any of the food that could be done ahead of time. Christmas Day everybody came around noon. Good times and visiting with his family and great-granddaughters was so much more than I thought it could be. It was wonderful. He has some special gifts to take back to England with him. Time was flying by now and with two days left I thought he would like to say good-bye to everybody, so on Saturday the 3rd we took him to the Candlelight in Sterling and had the whole family and friends join us. It was a wonder- ful evening. One day left, having a quiet day as the next day would the flight back to England, hours flying and the time change. He flew out of Chicago at 6:10 PM on January 5 and arrived home at 11:00 AM on January 6, 2015. I believe his wish to have one Christmas with his daughter has been accomplished! Culture Club In early January a group of newer managers and level 6 leaders got together at the Salamandra Restaurant in Dixon (run by Kena & Karla Rivera’s family) to have a little revival meeting Crest Foods style. The preaching at this meet- ing was all about Crest Culture and how important it is to our way of work life. Over the years, we have spent much time with our leaders reviewing Crest Culture and reminding everyone how important their role is in making the words on paper come to life. Many of these people weren’t exposed to those original meetings, so we thought it would be a good thing just to spend some time reviewing the basics to a whole new group of people. Crest Culture – we teach it, we preach it and we practice it every day because it is the one thing that makes us different from ev- erybody else.
