Kerri and Uta discovered a few weeks ago that December 4th is National Cookie Day. Whoot!

Please sign up by Friday, November 30th, to identify the type of cookies you’ll bring.
If you are going to be out for the holidays, please remember to set your delegates/ substitute approvers in BennyBuy so items don’t languish in your approval queues. If you need help on how to set up your delegates, the Tip Sheet can be found here.

Can you guess the animal’s person?
This pupper is named Maxwell. He can play fetch for days. It is his favorite, number one activity after all. He can also howl like a mini-wolf if encouraged with a treat. He also has the odd habbit of collecting socks and stockpiling them for later.
Answers can be shared with colleagues and guessed among the office. Last week’s pets were Drew Olson’s doggos, Maisy and Duke.
