As we close in on Christmas, I look forward to spending time with friends and family.
Like many of you I feel among the fortunate. I have my health, my loved ones and an ability to provide for my family. However there are too many families with children young and old who are forced to wonder where their next meal will come from.
No family, no child should go without, especially in communities as affluent as ours. Like many of your organizations charitableness is woven into the fabric of VistaVu Solutions. As so on Friday Dec 16th VistaVu held our annual Christmas Scavenger Hunt. Each year we give each staff member $150 and a list of items to buy in a set amount of time. Each item has a different weighting of points and the winner is the one who spends all the money and collects the most points within the time frame. In the end our winner of this year’s Scavenger hunt was Roy Garcia, followed by Austen Zhang.
This year was unique as it was the first time we spanned this annual event across three cities, three time zones and 4300 miles. All the items purchased went
Calgary - Inn From the Cold to the following charities that support homeless families.
- $1800 of items/gifts donated
Houston - Star of Hope Mission
- $500 cash donation
- $300 items/gifts donated
- $500 cash donation
- $150 items/gifts donated
A note of interest: In some of the charities, a gift of $500 will feed a family for a month.
I want to personally thank all of our customers and the great staff at VistaVu for giving me a chance to help some of these families through this holiday season.
Merry Christmas to all of you.
God bless,
Jory Lamb
