This is day #2 of our annual Employee Appreciation Week in the New York offices. Similar events are scheduled to take place over the next few weeks in our other locations.

We truly appreciate all of the hard work you do during the year and Employee Appreciation Week is intended to recognize everyone's efforts. The foundation of our company is the great people that we employ -- that's what sets us apart from others. It's all too easy for us to get bogged down in our day to day tasks without taking the time out to say thank you and express sincere appreciation to our coworkers.

So please be sure to enjoy some of the activities that are planned for you. Full details on specific activities will be provided by HR in NY and by your local management teams.

Thank you.
