-Human Resources

Finance - Executives Auction nets over $10,000

Great work team, Lunch with Executives was another success!
A grand total of $10,300 winning bids was received. I want to thank everyone who participated, as well as the executives for supporting us.

Putting bid amounts aside, I believe that this event has not only created an opportunity for the family of Orange to give back to the community but also in bringing both the employees and the employers together.

Again, congratulations to the four final winners. Winners will receive a letter in their mailbox (also via e-mail) regarding your lunch plans with the executives.

I also want to let everyone know that the final result of our charity competition will be announced later today. Will it be the Finance, Human Resource, or Marketing Department? Stay tuned to find out who the winner is!

HR- Recap of Silent Auction

Thanks to all who attended the event! It seemed everyone enjoyed the food and drinks at Mangiano's. As a result of the silent auction, we were able to raise $1145.00!!! I believe that with all the funds we raised, we will definitely be in contention for winning it all.

For privacy reasons I do not want to disclose who donated which auction items, but I do want to send a special thank you to all of you who either donated or bid on items. Its amazing that we can all come together for a great cause while still having fun.

I am expecting to have the final tally for votes this evening, so please check the blog tonight for a final update!

Thanks again for all your help and hopefully this can be the start of our continued commitment to helping others here at Orange and in the HR Department.

Best,

Marvelous Marketing Mixer

We had an incredibly successful mixer! We sold over 200 tickets, raising a total of $4600! The marketing department showed up to the Glendale community center at about 2 PM today to start setting up for the event. We hung up streamers and balloons, put out the food, and had our own small jam session led by Tom and his band. The guests started to arrive at about 5:30 PM. Sally and I got on stage to thank everyone for supporting our cause and for coming out to the event. We ate some delicious food catered by Will's Mom's catering company: Garden Grill Catering Company. George had a hilarious stand up act, and Tom's Band played for the next 2 hours. Everyone really seemed to have a great time, not to mention the great sum of money we were able to put towards the fundraising competition. Thanks again to everyone who came out! Results of the Orange Inc Charity competition should be in tomorrow night, good luck Marketing Team!

Finance - ***Lunch with Executives***

For the past week, our team had joined with the executives in planning this exciting event. As a result, we will be holding our second fund-raising event on Friday, April 16th!

Lunch with Executives -
It is a silent auction where possible of 4 winners will be able to have lunch with an executive of their choice. Four of our great executives have agreed to participate in this charity event, where the employees and the employers will not only help for a good cause but also get a chance to interact with one another.
The specifics regarding the lunch are as follows:

• The Lunch is to take place within 6 months from the date of auction
• Date, time, and location of the lunch will be agreed by both the executive and the winner
• The Lunch will be a one-on-one meeting between the winner and the executive, and is to be at least 45 minutes long
• The cost of lunch will be paid by the executive
  

Settings and bid sheets will be placed in conference rooms of each floor, where it is easily accessible. The auction will begin first thing in the morning and last throughout the day, so that everyone gets the chance to participate. Remember, this is a charity event to help our children at GES, as well as your chance at getting to know the executives better.

Again, Lunch with Executives Auction is Friday, April 16th with the following confirmed executives:

Steve Jabs (Chairman and CEO)
Victoria Gellar (Executive Director)
Renee White (Vice President of Business Affairs)
Nigel Parker (Director of Production)

Good Luck!

HR-Upcoming Event

Hi Everyone,

I know I spoke to most of you in person, but I wanted to remind you all that we are having the silent auction and dinner at Mangiano's this Saturday evening. I have received most of the auction items but if you have any other items, please let me know.

Please check you office mailbox by Friday for the formal invitation.

Marketing Department to hold Benefit this Saturday!

Hello Orange Inc! As I'm sure many of you have heard, Sally had the remarkable idea today to hold a mixer for Orange Inc employees. The mixer is to take place this Saturday, April 17, and tickets are going to cost $50, $80 for a party of 2. We will be posting up fliers around the building. After holding a budgeting meeting during lunch today, we figured out that the mixer will cost us virtually nothing, so all of the money can go straight to the Children's hospital of Southern California (if we win the competition). Our department's intern, Will, gave us the gracious news that his Mom owns a catering company, and would be able to donate all the food, desserts, and drinks to the benefit. Tom volunteered to play with his band for the musical entertainment, and George is going to perform stand up comedy. Who knew we had such talent in our department?! We are going to hold the benefit in the Glendale Community Center Ballroom, also free of charge. We are very excited about this event! Thanks again for the fabulous idea, Sally!
