Inspirational Achievements

We welcomed three new babies and two newly- weds to the EDA family this year: • Mallory Flores had a baby boy in July 2018 • James Borja welcomed a baby boy in November 2018 • Kris Luengas had a baby boy in February 2019 • Brittney Scott married in April and Becky Daniels married in May The A&F Staff have taken time to create a vision wall to share in new personal and professional goals for 2019. It’s inspiring to read and share accom- plishments that many will report on the end of the year. So many staff share many goals in common and are able to support each other to success. On the lighter side, A&F staff continue and willingly support many causes. Staff participated and donned crazy socks and wore yellow and blue in sup- port of National Down Syndrome’s Day. While other staff participated in “Take a Bite Out of Hunger” cam- paign by contributing to the jean fund. In addition, to kick off our yearend celebration and in support of the culture of health, a fun Easter Egg Hunt got every- one on the move. Colorful Easter eggs were carefully hidden in and around the office and filled with priz- es, which were graciously donated by the management team. It was great to see the excitement in looking for and locating the golden eggs.
