Christmas Dinners & Raffle Winners by Cheri Kemp Editors note: Each year a fund raising event is held during the Christmas season to raise money for the Crest Foods Employee Benevo- lence Fund. The amount of money raised through the raffle of some wonderful donated gifts is matched dollar for dollar by Crest Foods. The money in the Benevolence Fund is used to help those employees who find themselves in difficulty or crisis through unforeseen circum- stances. We thank everyone who purchased raffle tickets to help support this fund! Even if you didn’t win, you supported a great cause! The fun and anticipation of drawing raffle winner names was in abundance as was the food provided during the ca- tered Christmas dinners held on December 13 & 14. Employees were treated to a delicious variety of food as a way to celebrate the upcoming Christmas holiday. During the meals, those employees who reached their 20 year and 30 year milestones at Crest Foods were recognized. Jeff Meiners, President, said a few words about each person to highlight their years at Crest Foods and what it means to Crest for their dedication. After weeks of ticket sales, when the time came to draw a winner from the various raffles, you could almost hear each person mentally saying ‘pick me, pick me’! Throughout the two days of dinner celebrations, fifteen winning names were drawn to the delight of each winner. You can see the winners with their goods on the next page! At this time of year, we like to take a moment to say thank you to each and every employee who makes Crest Foods what it is today. We can’t do it without each of you. So blessings to you, your families and friends as we look into 2018 and what it can bring to each and every one. In total, the raffles and the Christmas Store raised over $14,000! These funds will be matched in kind by Crest Foods so what a tidy sum for the Benevolence Fund! Again, thank you to each person who bought a raffle ticket; helped sell raffle tickets and made or donated something for the Handmade Christmas Store – thank you!
