The Shepherds @ Paper City!

Here are some pictures from Friday night at Paper City. Enjoy!

Puts What We Do In Perspective

I found this video attached to the "extras" of a DVD I was watching.

It's a commercial by Kodak from a few years ago, but when you think about it, we, in our daily tasks at G&B, contribute to this. It's 6 minutes long, so watch it when you have a break.

Holiday Shopping Opportunities!

Craft fair on December 1st at Monastery Heights in West Springfield (near the HS) from 10am to 3pm--lots of crafters and products for sale. It's free to come in and walk around! I'll have a booth there! Ask me if you'd like more details.

Here at G&B on December 5th we'll be having a craft & vendor fair. If you or anyone you know would like to participate, please see me. So far, we'll be having an assortment of crafts (purses, jewelry, ornaments, etc.), bath products, and stamp/scrapbooking supplies. That will be from about 5-7pm, probably in the front lobby. Stop by to pick up some Xmas gifts!

What a great way to hang out with your friends from work and to support local entertainment.....This Wed. at the Chalet in Chicopee for the Karaoke Dance party w/ Dale and after recovering on Thursday, a good meal, and lots of time with family......you'll be ready to hit Paper City in Holyoke on Fri. from 6-8 to see everyone's favorite bass player and his band "The Shephards." We hope everyone can make it out.

The Shepherds

So there is this band that Harvey plays in and they will be at Paper City the Friday after Thanksgiving. It starts at 6pm and goes till 8. Who knows what will happen after that. It costs $6 to get in and you can enjoy some adult beverages responsibly. Everyone is going to be there so you should to. DO IT!!!

Pet Photos with Santa!

Santa will be at Petco in Holyoke (next to Bed, Bath & Beyond) on Saturday, December 8th from 11am to 4pm. Bring your pets to have a photo taken with Santa! The donation is $6.95, but $5.00 from each photo goes to help homeless pets.
(I think humans can be in the photos, too!)

Night Out?

For anyone who wants to get together and blow off some steam, I'm trying to get a crew together for next Wed. night to head over to the Chalet in Chicopee. I'll be doing Karaoke and Dance music starting at 8pm. Finally.......No work the next day so anyone who would like to make it out, I can promise you a great time!

Soldier's Angels

Hey Everyone!
For those of you who don't already know, my brother Matt is currently in Iraq serving with the Marines. My family is so proud of him and support him as much as we can. My mom recently joined an organization called Soldier's Angels. It is a group of people all around the country that get together and send the troops food and clothing and things of that nature. It is great to give them the things that they need along with the things that they miss from home. This past Halloween, we made cards and bags of candy for each person in the squadrin that we adopted (which happens to be my brothers!). I am sure that many of you have seen the box for donations in the kitchen. For those of you who donated, thank you so much!!!! We are trying to send out more things since the holiday season is fast approaching. If anyone has anything they would like to donate, it would be greatly appreciated! If you feel you don't have things to give, we are also looking for people to help us fill out Christmas cards to send over there. If you are interestedbrother!! in lending a hand with the cards, let me know! There is a list on the box in the kitchen of the different things that they are looking for. If you have any questions, let me know!!! Thank you so much for helping to support my brother!!
