Happy Retirement, Barb Woodyatt!

Barb Woodyatt has left the building…no really, Barb has decided it was time to retire after 27 years of keeping tabs on all of us through her role in QA. In December, co-workers and friends gathered to wish her farewell with a retirement party complete with lots of laughs, reminiscing and cake! Barb never made us guess what was on her mind and always had a colorful way of expressing her thoughts. She knew her stuff and we will miss her and we wish her nothing but the best in retirement. Congratulations!

Turkey Day

Sandy Bennett Fundraiser by Karen Yardley A huge thank you to anyone who helped us make the 50/50 raffle for Sandy Bennett such a success! Sandy, who is part of our crew on A Shift Sanitation, is battling Stage 4 cancer of the colon, liver and lungs. Sandy has been off work since late August and has been receiving chemotherapy. We wanted to do something to help Sandy and her family cope with some of the difficulties that come with a situation like this and knew we could count on our co- workers to feel the same. And boy did you come through! Between raffle ticket sales and monetary donations we raised $1500! A lot of people wanted to write Sandy’s name on the tickets so we encouraged people to leave the tickets blank and we would know if a blank ticket was drawn as the winner, it would be for Sandy. And sure enough, when the winning ticket was drawn on Friday, October 24th - it was blank! $1500 or $750 - either way, Sandy would have come out the winner! We were happy that Sandy felt well enough to come to Crest for a visit and we were able to share the raffle prize and well wishes from everyone with her. She hopes to be back to work soon as do we!
