Why Memorial Day?

May 28, 2012

Memorial Day is much more than a long weekend, summer kick-off picnics and the Indy 500.  Memorial Day is a day to remember all those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice; those who died in military service to our country. In between all the fun this weekend, take a moment to remember them, too.  Watch [...]

May 24, 2012

Last night, our daughter was recognized as one of Central Ohio’s “Forty Under 40.”  It was a great honor for Heather, of course, and we are very proud of her.  We are thankful for her personal character, her professional excellence as she as built Geben Communication, her ongoing commitment to freely share her knowledge and [...]

Tuesday Tidbit

April 24, 2012

A different kind of Tuesday Tidbit today… Tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day.  I don’t think our office is any different than most when it comes to the value of our administrative professional, a.k.a. Stacie*.  Anyone who needs to know almost anything, find almost anyone, or generally accomplish the impossible knows that she is one to count on. She handles a [...]

I’m sure the news of Dick Clark’s passing yesterday brought back many memories for a lot of people.  There are many younger people who only know Dick Clark as the host of New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, or maybe they’ve seen Dick Clark Productions named in the credits of game shows or award shows.  But, before Times Square, before the [...]

Sunday Service – Red Cross Tornado Response

April 15, 2012

The post below originally published just six weeks ago. Once again, however, the American Red Cross has mobilized its tornado response and they need our help.  The U.S. midwest and plains areas were struck last night by many large, deadly tornados and severe storms, leaving a wide and long train of damage behind.  As the sun rose today, [...]

. In honor of the start of the major league baseball season, this week’s Tuesday Tidbit post included several baseball quotes that can also be applied to the workplace.  After reading the message at work, one of my team members sent me the following email: You are just a wonder, El.  This one really sums up [...]

Sunday Service – Blankets for Syria

April 1, 2012

If you’ve paid attention to international news lately, you know that there is serious conflict happening in Syria.  This conflict has led many Syrians to abandon their homes, seeking refuge in neighboring countries.  Earlier this week, I got the email below from the United Nations Refugee Agency. I can’t add anything more that would make a [...]

Sunday Service – The Ireland Fund

March 18, 2012

St. Patrick’s Day might be over, but you can continue to honor your Irish heritage by supporting The Ireland Funds, “the global Irish making a difference together.”  In addition to eleven other worldwide Ireland Fund organizations, the largest is right here in the United States, with twelve chapters across the country. For 35 years, the American [...]

I had another post ready to go today, expressing gratitude that student activism is alive and well.  This was in response to seeing high school students jumping into the election fray to help get a budget issue passed in a local school district.  I really was thankful to see the students get involved. Then, while skimming my morning [...]

Sunday Service – Red Cross Tornado Response

March 4, 2012

Continuing a nearly seventy year tradition, the President issued a proclamation declaring March to be American Red Cross month.  How incredible then that, just three days in to the month, the organization’s disaster services are desperately needed. The Red Cross has mobilized to provide emergency assistance in eleven states hit by Friday’s tornado outbreak.  By Friday evening, their quick response teams had [...]
