Co-Worker Appreciation Week<br />
Our 6 th Annual Co-Worker Appreciation Week (CWAW) will be held<br />
<strong>October</strong> 29 th through November 2 nd . This year, we will be able to honor<br />
and appreciate our co-workers with ribbons of appreciation, healthy<br />
treats, and much more! We have many activities planned for each day of<br />
the week, including employee trivia as well as baby and pet match up<br />
contests. We will also have a contest for the Company CWAW placard<br />
drawing or photo. Each year, we have individual HMS placards with<br />
each employee’s name in the center of a drawing or photo. Co-workers<br />
write notes of appreciation on the placards. All submissions should be<br />
emailed to cwaw@harleymarine.com by <strong>October</strong> 15 th . The winner will<br />
receive <strong>Harley</strong> <strong>Marine</strong> gear.<br />
This year, all CWAW contributions will benefit the Dr. Henry Kaplan’s Research Foundation for vital<br />
cancer research and education at the Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle. HMS continues to support our coworker<br />
Todd Prophet and TEAM TODD in fighting cancer. Dr. Kaplan is Todd’s doctor and has created his<br />
own foundation to combat the various breast and lung cancers that patients like Todd are being treated<br />
for. In addition to donating a dollar for an appreciative ribbon and treat for a co-worker, the ribbon and<br />
treat may also be purchased with a canned food donation. We will be kicking off our canned food drive<br />
throughout the family of companies during CWAW, and donations will be brought to the local food<br />
banks. We will bring our first set of donations to the food banks after CWAW, then before Thanksgiving,<br />
Christmas, and New Years. Last year, we raised a grand total of $15,912 for Dr. Kaplan’s Research<br />
Foundation.<br />
Stay tuned for more CWAW information about activities. Each region will host their own festivities for the<br />
week, but there will also be coordinating activities through the family of companies. We will be<br />
appreciating co-workers throughout the week, but will pay special tributes to the following groups:<br />
• Monday, <strong>October</strong> 29 – Administrative Departments – Accounting/Finance, HR, HSQE, Marketing,<br />
IT<br />
• Tuesday, <strong>October</strong> 30 – Shoreside Operations – Dispatch, Terminal, Maintenance/Engineering,<br />
eMaint, Operational Management<br />

Thank you to all the CWAW Teams in each region for planning a wonderful week of events and<br />
festivities! Our jobs are easier when we all support, assist and recognize each other. It is a good time to<br />
recognize each other for jobs and efforts well done. Happy CWAW!<br />
With sincere appreciation,<br />
