This October, Buena Park employees from both the accounting and
dispatch office celebrated Halloween by wearing costumes to work.
The month of September kicked

Dan Hibma (MSU) and Ino Belman (RBM-Chino) won $225 in an

November is a month where people


reflect on Thanksgiving and give
thanks for the blessings in life. Many
employees spent their Thanksgiving morning either running or walking with Team West Coast at the
Huntington Beach Turkey Wobble. The event raises money to build
wells in developing countries such
as Guatemala, Haiti and India.

This year, West Coast participated


in Operation Christmas Child and
made 34 boxes filled with a variety
of items including water bottles,
books and toys. These boxes are
shipped during the Christmas season to children in third world countries between the ages of 2 and 14.

This holiday season was celebrated


differently by each location. Some
offices participated in a Christmas
gift exhange, other departments
had catered lunches and some even
enjoyed Christmas carolers.

A handful of trucks in Buena Park's


fleet recognized the holiday season
as drivers like Barry Bogusch decorated his truck for the Christmas.
Santa Clause came to town and
some employees brought their kids
to sit on his lap as other families
posed together for Christmas cards.
