EDJE's Business Team would like to wish everyone a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Tiffany, Sherry, Mike & Erica

We were suprised today at the EDJE home office in Indianola when a delivery came with gifts for everyone in the office.  Thanks to Val, Lori & Amanda Eberspacher from Eberspacher Enterprises for sending over these warm gloves!  We appreciate the gift and as you can see from the photo, some of us are already sporting our gloves right here in the office! Thanks!
 


 

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
 - Everyone at EDJE Technologies

It's the holiday season, and just like the song goes, EDJE is "decking the halls" in our office!  Our tree is decorated with candy canes, bows and mini stockings with each employee's name written in gold, and our desks are covered in lights and garlands.  There is quite a bit of Holiday spirit in the air!

Besides the decorating, EDJE has been busy with lots of holiday projects and activities.  Earlier in December EDJE packed shoe boxes for the "Operation Christmas Child" project through Samaritan's Purse.  We filled 14 shoe boxes to be sent to needy children in various countries around the world!  Another project we are participating in again this year is sponsoring a local family.  EDJE employees donated gifts for the children in the family as well as money to buy a Christmas dinner with all the fixins.  You can see the presents are all wrapped and under our tree!  It is great to be a part of a company that gives back to the community and the world during this season.

Probably my favorite activity coming up this holiday season though is our annual EDJE "food days."  There are about 20 employees that work here at the home office in Indianola, Iowa, and everyone signs up to bring a variety of savory and sweet treats.  We learned a couple of years ago that there was so much food that we had to divide it up into two days.  Two full days of great food -- it is excellent!

May your Holiday season be safe and happy and may you be with family and friends who mean the world to you.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
