Trivia Question of the Week
Q. Which American city is known as The Big Apple? (Answer at the end of this newsletter.)
Employee Morale Activity
Caring Heart Notes
Contributed by Susan R. Starr
At our community, our employees are encouraged to write a Caring Heart note when they see another employee do a good deed for someone else.
The “Love Notes” are put in a locked Heart Shaped Box for a month. At the end of the month, at the Employee All Associates Meeting, a “Caring Heart” note is randomly selected and read to all. Along with the recognition, a gift card is given and a note of appreciation.
All the rest of the Caring Heart Notes are stapled on a pretty ribbon and draped in the employee lounge for all to read.
This has been a tradition since 1996 and it promotes good will and appreciation to all.
This is a great idea to use for Valentines Day.

Joke of the Week
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “And what starting salary are you looking for?”
The engineer replies, “In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”
The interviewer inquires, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?”
The engineer sits up straight and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?”
The interviewer replies, “Yeah, but you started it.”
