This week we celebrated our staff during our annual News-Register Holiday Appreciation Lunch.

We gathered in the bindery for boxed lunches from our Business Partner Harvest Fresh Grocery & Deli to play some BINGO and honor length of service for our 45 employees. In total, our staff has 394 years of experience working for Oregon Lithoprint, Inc!

A special recognition is given each year for 5-year employment milestones. This year, we honored Peggy Talmadge, HR Director and Controller, for 15 years of service. Thank you, Peggy!

May all your holiday gatherings be as festive! (And watch out... newspaper staff are cutthroat when it comes to BINGO games.)

He says, "I’m thankful for my friends, family, and co-workers, for my job, and for my music & stories!"

Lorenz is quick with a smile and a wave hello to everyone walking down the main hall at the News-Register. (Just so you know, we wave even when we can't see him through the glare in the window because we know he'll be waving to us!)

Check back tomorrow to see what the rest of our team is thankful for this season.
