Employee Support Center Day 2023

On Wednesday, September 13, we celebrated the employees at the Employee Support Center. What an incredible day it was! All departments were treated to movie theater popcorn all day long. We got to leave our offices to play games for prizes in the conference room. T-shirts were made especially for this day and given to all ESC employees! For lunch, we had a choice of lasagnas and Greek salad from Olive Garden. Our dessert was two different cheesecakes - one chocolate and one vanilla. If that wasn't enough, at 4 p.m. an ice cream truck (Chillin on the Rez) showed up with free treats for everyone, and we were allowed to leave early but were still paid for the whole day! A special THANK YOU goes out to Mr. Steven Cole for his generosity! We are truly blessed!!
