Employee Ownership Month is a time to celebrate the power of employee ownership and the unique culture it creates within organizations. It's an opportunity to recognize the dedication, collaboration, and shared commitment of employee-owners who help drive success every day. We want to extend a heartfelt Happy Employee Ownership Month to all our employees — thank you for your hard work, ownership mindset, and contributions that make our company stronger together.

For our holiday donations, we will be doing a necessities drive for Jubilee Kitchen — who is right in our backyard. At the beginning of December, we will be collecting items like canned food, kitchen supplies, personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, clothing, and blankets. Keep an eye out for more details from your GH HR team in the upcoming month.

Each square will have a word pertaining to the ESOP. The GH OS team will send emails containing the "called" words that you can cross off. There will be one word a week for the first three weeks, and then a word a day during the last week of October. Once you get 4 words in a row (diagonal, horizontal, or vertical line), you’ve got Bingo! Email Cassie a photo of your winning card ASAP. The first person to submit a winning photo will win a gift card.

MENKE is our ESOP plan administrator. Once you're eligible for the ESOP, you have access to the portal, where you can view your allocations, how much you're vested, and how many shares you have. Something really important about your account is your beneficiary information. Please log in to your MENKE account and update your beneficiary information.

We want to say thank you to everyone who filled out the survey. It gave us a better idea on the information we should be sending out, so stay tuned for more informative newsletters to come. Now the moment that we’ve all been waiting for … our winner. Congratulations to Debbie Minnis-Regan! Don’t go spending it all in one place.
