“A Ladies Day Out”! These CCF ladies went out to the old “Ball Game”, to enjoy a day together at Baum Stadium. Our company is so blessed to have brief times of space, to stop our normal routine, enjoy a beautiful day and get to know each other better. The experiences we share during some of these times bond our relationships, and help deeply form who we are as a company.
As a company our foundation comes from deep faith. The beautiful thing about our organization is we are from different back grounds and denominations. Some of of us may or may not have grown up in a part of the country or walk of faith where Lent was practiced. However Easter is a part of the natural rhythm in this company, for various reasons. Lent is the Season, of 40 days before Easter when we can deny ourselves of something we traditionally engage with or rely upon. It could be something we enjoy like chocolate or cokes; it could be something we eat to much of like red meat or fried food; this is about finding ways to pause your life you could deny yourself from something electronic…games, t.v., facebook. Lent is a season in the calendar where we remember at one point in His life Christ denied himself for 40 days. For centuries followers of Jesus have emulated His life by finding ways to deny themselves the 40 days before Easter. In our society today that has so much…what can we give up for the next 40 days?
Thanks CCF Family, for your contributions this past month to the Rogers, AR Laundry Love Project. Pictured here are two girls who spent a rainy night in March, painting each others nails and coloring pictures as their parents did loads of laundry provided by our contributions. Like many non-profits in the area, whether it is food, shelter, or clean clothes…that is simply an avenue to building relationships. Over the course of this night there were great discussions on how people survived the huge snow storm last month. Relationships were built as we discussed how to take care of on-going health issues. More than likely you can always find someone happy to share their theology with you. The first Friday of every month there are pockets of community that are happening, where people from different walks of life gather to clean clothes, and share life…when you leave…you always see a smile.
As promised, here’s the video of the Pucker Up 2011 grand finale! We’re glad that while we had a little fun, we also raised $1,000 for a good cause (Laundry Love). Mark and Nick… thanks for entertaining us all.
Is there any better way to celebrate Valentine’s than with a kiss? We can’t think of one. So… this Valentine’s we held a little contest to see which one of our board members should Pucker Up and kiss a pig. CCF Brands associates made donations to see the board member of their choice kiss a pig. The contest raised over $1,000 for the Laundry Love project and our EVP of Operations (Mark Trowbridge) was the lucky winner! Here’s Mark puckering up. (Video to come)
CCF Valentines Lunch…What a great time for our company to come together and share various thoughts on Love. It was a great time to see people work together, creating community, and more importantly sharing life around the lunch table.
Tis the season around CCF. Last night was our Super Bowl Party with the majority of people going how happy since the Packers won. It was a great time with too much food, creative games, centered around the commercials, and what turned out to be a great game. Kenni set up a squares game, I don’t think we can really call gambling, it was all luck, and most of us didn’t know what we were doing. There were a lot of laughs, and only tears were shed by Steeler Fans. Good time was had by all, just another one of the benefits of working with people that enjoy being together. Now we look ahead to the next time CCF associates gather to build relationships…
One of the many teams serving from CCF at SHCC. This Thursday we spent the morning stuffing over 1000 snack packs for school children in NWA.
Ron gives wisdom to all of us on how to balance work, family, and faith.
