Summer Fun In The Sun with Coller Industries

Every year, Coller Industries Incorporated honors a job well done for their employees by hosting a summer party and barbecue. This year the party was held at a local park here in Utah. There was fun for all ages and the employees were encouraged to bring their families. Food (BBQ) was provided and there were games and a bounce house for the kids.

Hats off to the catering company (R&R Barbeque) for providing the overly delicious food! We had the whole spread: BBQ ribs, chicken wings, beef brisket, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans and rolls.

Many of the employees were able to attend this year and were happy to have been included. While we’re not about tooting our own horns, as we like to focus on the needs of our customers, we would like to give a shout out to Coller Industries and the Coller family for providing such a wonderful activity for our employees. And here’s how we say thank you!

“Passionate, United and Spiritual,” said Antony.

History of St. Joseph Catholic Church:
In 1879, the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament founded a school near (the church) site to serve Houston’s Sixth Ward. One year later, St. Joseph Parish was founded …to serve the school and surrounding community. This Romanesque Revival structure, designed by Patrick S. Rabbit and built in 1901, replaced the earlier sanctuary (that was) destroyed in the great hurricane of 1900. http://www.stjoseph6thward.org/

To Wear, or Not To Wear. What is a Name Tag?

Many people feel that name tags are pointless and kind of a pain to wear. While most of these people will complain about wearing a name badge, they can all agree on one thing. That is the point of the identification in the first place. So, what is a name tag?

Once someone is wearing identification, it becomes easier to recognize them. So, those who become self conscious once they actually break and don a name badge, they will agree that the identification does aid in the day to day activities.

While there was a focus on Scott Ginsberg, a man who wears a name tag every day, Mark Anderson is annoyed by this small personal identification tool. Anderson says, “Well, I should say I hate wearing a name tag. I find them very useful when I’m speaking to someone because I’m horrible with names, but I always feel self conscious with that big red ‘Hi, I’m Mark’ branded on my chest.”

Defining Identification

By definition, a name tag is something you wear with your name to quickly identify yourself. Simply put, it is something to help others quickly see who you are. While a name tag is typically made from plastic or metal, there are many forms this identification can take.

“So, instead of hobnobbing and mingling, I set my mind to work on other ways people are identified with tags or signs, and this cartoon popped out. I suppose a therapist might suggest that I was feeling trapped in my job, but mostly I just felt goofy, and was able to turn it to my advantage. This cartoon came from attending one of those business events where I had to wear a name tag.”

In rebuttal against these feelings, name tags really are a great equalizer. Name tags always help out when meeting a lot of people at once. This is especially beneficial at a conference or convention, and in a short time frame.

“If everybody wears name tags, no more fighting, no more intolerance and no more disrespect,” says Scott Ginsberg.

Name tags RULE (even if we are biased)!

Wearing a name tag where people can easily see and read it makes getting to know them easier. It also puts everyone ease. The important thing to remember is that when meeting a lot of different people, they have an easier way to really remember who you are and what you stand for. No one will be left to assume anything about anyone with the simple aid of personal identification.

Wearing Your Name Tag Proudly

The Simple Use of A Name Tag

Name tags are a friendly greeting, a statement of your name, and, more importantly, a direct line from you to your end consumer or goal; such a simple and yet efficient idea. Wear it around your neck or on your shirt, maybe put it on your desk as a name plate. A name tag identifies who you are and what your presentation or purpose is.

Name tags are used by customer service companies so that customers are able to identify employees at a quick glance. Professional organizations where employees do not wear uniforms may use name tags as a way of distinguishing or identifying themselves.

By wearing a name tag, you let the work know who you are. You show them the pride you have in your name. This name can represent you, your company or your goal or purpose. But in any way, you are showing how much pride you have in this name or purpose; you let them know that you’re serious about your name or purpose. By wearing a name tag, you let your customers and those around you know what you’re really about.

While the presentation is simple, the message goes way beyond that. A name tag can be used as a point of intrigue. By using only a first name on a name tag, it gives the consumer an opportunity to ask more in depth questions about who you are and will help them learn what you’re truly all about.

By identifying yourself with a name tag, you’re making a statement. You’re telling those around you that you’re proud to go by that name and that you’re proud to be representing yourself or your purpose. A name tag is not only your name but can also include more explanation about your cause. Perhaps there might be a title that has been given to you, maybe one that has been earned that you’re proud of.

By wearing a name tag, you become the face of your purpose, and you are representing that to everyone around you. In many ways, this benefits you and your purpose so that the customer is able to put a face with a name. It has been said that “a picture is worth a thousand words;” you tell that story with your smile and a name tag. Wear your name tag proudly and let it serve its purpose!
