Have you Met the New EMIS Staff Members?
Interested in participating in our Yearly "Booing"?
Booing is a fun way for us to spread some fall/Halloween Cheer~ similar to Secret Santa. If you choose to participate, your job is to give gifts to your “secret pal”. We will start the week of October 23rd (and boost our moods during EOQ’s). “Boo” your secret pal every day of week with a nice surprise on Friday, spending between $15ish for the week. Reveal yourself sometime Friday the 27th! Tara will contact you in a week or so with your assigned person so you can start shopping.
