Trivia Question of the Week
Q. Crazy Horse was who’s right hand man? (Answer at the end of this newsletter.)
Employee Morale
Audio Book Club
Contributed by Ann Heatherton
I am organizing a new audio book club to create an on-the-road entertainment library that will be available to all employees. Employees need to register to the club to become a member, and then they will receive their own key to the library.
Members may lend or borrow audio books donated by themselves or other members. In addition, our company will purchase 25-30 new audio books to add to the collection.
Here is a questionnaire that I sent to employees:
What type of audio books would you like to hear from our library?
Do you enjoy fiction subjects such as Mysteries, Detective Stories, Suspense/Thrillers, Romance? If yes, which?
How about non-fiction like Psychology, Self-help, NewLanguages, Politics, Biographies? If yes, which?
Are there specific best seller titles you are interested in? (We want to purchase selections you will actually borrow and enjoy.)
Do you have any audio books you would care to donate?
The Audio Book Club goal is to do something special for employees so they can make good use of time on the road and arrive at work in a cheerful mood.

Joke of the Week
For one of our first dates, my husband-to-be wanted to impress me by taking me to lunch at an exclusive business club downtown. Never having been to one, I was a little nervous. He assured me that he would be watching for my entrance, as the elevator faced the dining room.
When the elevator door opened, I saw a room full of people. The receptionist, seeing me hesitate, asked if she could help. Scanning the room, I said, “I’m looking for Mr. Wright.”
“Aren’t we all, my dear!” she laughed. “Aren’t we all.”
