Holiday Luncheon Pictures!

Last week the annual Comrise Holiday Luncheon was held at Salt Creek Grille in Rumson, New Jersey. Our New Jersey team took a well-deserved break from work to celebrate the work we've done and reflect on the outgoing year. It may have been cold outside, but it was warm and friendly inside!

A special thanks goes to Susan Knudson and Fran Banks for arranging an entertaining and relaxing (and delicious!) holiday luncheon for the Comrise team.


Congratulations also go out to this year's winners of our annual in-house Comrise Awards, who were announced during the luncheon. In no particular order:

       "Funniest Employee of the Year" - Deb Chen

       "Rookie of the Year" - Todd Snider

       "Unsung Hero of the Year" - Susan Knudson

       "Teammate of the Year" - Aditi Jaitly

       "MVP - Most Valuable Professional" - Aditi Jaitly


As we prepare for the end of the year and gear up for 2011, we'd like to wish everyone in the Comrise Community Happy Holidays and a safe and successful New Year! We hope you and your families have an enjoyable holiday season!

Toys Toys Everywhere!!


Imagine a school full of children…wait, ok so that’s pretty normal.

Imagine a school full of children accompanied by their parents, local companies like Comrise and other community members, all working together for a greater cause! That was the scene at the Beers Street School in Hazlet, NJ, on Monday night. Comrise joined the RAINE Foundation’s Toy Drive and Toy Wrapping Event and found ourselves swept up in rolls and rolls of wrapping with toys everywhere.

The school’s halls were packed not only with people but with more toys than a your typical toy store would carry. We began by sorting the donated gifts by age group and gender, and then began the wrapping! From Dora the Explorer dolls to skateboards, we wrapped it all and had a blast while doing it!

A gift is a perfect way to show someone you love them, but while some of us are able to do that without question, many cannot afford it. We felt it our duty as responsible community members to offer our dedication to our neighbors so they too can celebrate this Holiday Season. We hope you will join us at our next Comrise Community event!

Take a look at some of the photos from our night with RAINE below, and check out our Facebook page for more!
