"Spirit Days were very well received by our employees, but the fact that it took place the day of St. Patrick gave us the opportunity to make an event out of him," said Candice Baeza, a Team leader at the headquarters of DirectBuy. "So, to really raise donations and set the mood of the day, we served a corned beef and cabbage, the traditional lunch with a punch of Green River and draw draw a Nintendo Wii for staff who participated. "

A special guest Greg Reinholt, director of development for BGCNWI, drew the winning ticket held by Josie Gonzalez, administrative assistant in the department of IT DirectBuy. "I kept telling everyone my name would be fired, but I never really expected that to happen," said Gonzalez.

In addition to drawing the winner of the Wii, Reinholt spoke BGCNWI DirectBuy staff and its special relationship with DirectBuy (in 2009, DirectBuy employees contributed over $ 3600 to BGCNWI) and what are their gifts to the organization. He cited the story of Andrew King, a young man whose life Gary has been greatly affected by his time spent several boys and girls clubs throughout his youth.

"I am very pleased to work with DirectBuy. We share a common set of values for our respective members in both we are proud to individual care, ensuring our members receive excellent service," said Reinhold. "A natural relationship developed between our organizations and I think it will be a long time. Already DirectBuy and his staff have been very generous - gifts of 2009 enabled 20 children to become members of clubs!

"Our Spirit Days are great fun, especially those which fall on a day of fun, like St. Patrick, but hearing the story's Andrew King has really made an impression on everybody," said Senior Master freight services, Patti Titus.
