A message from The D&D Project:
The D&D Project will be raffling off a Vacation Day to be used this year for one lucky D&D employee. Thank you Matt & Mike DeFendis for donating this for our Fresno & Clovis offices. Tickets can be purchased starting today and will end Thursday, August 1 before 1pm. Please see any D&D Project member to purchase. Proceeds will benefit the D&D Scholarship Fund.
You can place your ticket in the bucket in my (Darlene Ayala) row. If you have any questions, let us know.
**Clovis Office, if you are wanting tickets, Chris from IT will be there tomorrow morning and can deliver to you and collect your donation. If you miss him, I can make other arrangements next week. Just let me know the amount of tickets you want to purchase.
****Also we are always looking for new members with new ideas, so see any member interested in the D&D Project. ****
Thank you & Good Luck.
The D&D Project raised over $368 from your donations during the latest Casual Week over July 4th!
The Pinedale Block P Dinner that took place on May 29th was a great success, and Matt DeFendis was there serving parents and students at the event. Dinner was from DiCicco’s and sponsored by the D&D project.
Pictured below are the scholarship recipients from Clovis West and Washington Union High School, and our own Katie Beyerle was there at Clovis West to present the awards. The students were excited for their scholarship and advised it would be in good use.
Thank you again for the support for The D&D Project, and stay tuned for future opportunities to participate in our fundraisers and activities!

The Modesto office is collecting newspapers to donate to Pupz & Palz Rescue on Carpenter Road. There is a box in the break room for donations.
“Slip and falls, flying tools, poor posture. The workplace can be dangerous, and now you can add pets to the risks that Oregon workers face.
Dogs and cats have accounted for more than 1,900 claims since 2014 received by SAIF, Oregon’s not-for-profit workers’ compensation insurance company. That averages out to nearly 400 pet-related worker’s comp claims each year.”
