What better way to spend a morning? Until, wait.. someone can’t quite open that box that Santa taped shut way too well.

Salespeople have been around for almost as long as humankind has been around. Every product or idea needs an expert in order to help it sell. Today is National Salesperson Day, a day to honor and celebrate salespeople across the nation, just by simply saying “thank you”, or by going an extra step and getting them a thoughtful gift. Does your company have its own team of knowledgeable salespeople who deserve a service award? Or do you have a close relationship with the friendly salespeople who come to your office with their “new and latest” product? Generosity needs no sales pitch, so be generous this week and reward them with a thoughtful Leatherman tool.

Today is National Color the World Orange Day, which to many people sounds like just a day to celebrate this beautiful color. It is, in fact, a day to bring awareness to CRPS/RSD. What do all these letters stand for? According to https://www. colortheworldorange.com:
“Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a chronic pain condition characterized by continuous, intense, often burning, pain that is out of proportion to the severity of the original injury. Symptoms can include changes in the skin color and temperature of the affected body part, as well as skin sensitivity, sweating and swelling.”
Many of us, yours truly included, have probably not heard of this painful ailment, but hopefully through word of mouth more awareness can be drawn to it in order to help those affected.
How can your company raise awareness for CRPS/RSD?

Plan a company event where part of the proceeds go to a CRPS/RSD nonprofit

We weren’t the only ones anticipating National Hunting and Fishing Day last weekend.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine took some time off last Saturday to celebrate the holiday. After a successful fishing trip on Lake Erie, he had a fish fry with personnel of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and other VIPs. Geneva Marina next to Geneva on the Lake hosted the event. Governor DeWine praised Ohio’s beautiful parks and the dedicated people who run them. Everyone at the fish fry agreed with DeWine when he suggested they make this an annual event.
In case you missed this national holiday, or were busy hunting and fishing yourself, our famous engraved Buck knives were at the top of our must-have list. A few other high-quality models such as Boker knives and Kutmaster knives also made the list.
