My Office Etc’s October Pet Costume Contest- Join the fun!

It’s that time again- time for our second annual Pet Costume Contest! Last year we had our first Pet Costume Contest and, boy, was it fun! So, we’re doing it again this year 😊 Here’s how it works: Take a picture of your pet all dressed up. Then, send us the picture either by email at customerservice@myofficeetc.com, or you can post it on our Facebook page with the hashtag #moepetcontest. All entries must be received by midnight October 28th. Please note we are allowing only one photo entry per person. Judges will review all entries and the winners will be announced on November 1st. We will have prizes for first, second and third place winners. Last year, participants made it really hard for the judges to choose. Let’s make it even harder this year! Got questions? Feel free to call us at 970-686-5218 or toll free at 866-686-5218.

To get you started with emergency preparedness, here are a few things you’ll need to start thinking about. First off, identify your risk. Here’s what we mean by that. Many things we already know we should be prepared for simply based on where we live, what kind of work we do and what kinds of natural disasters and emergencies are more common in our area. Here in Northern Colorado, we may not need to think about hurricane preparedness, but we should have a safety plan for tornadoes and flash floods. Employees working in an oil field will likely have a higher risk of serious accidents and should have an adequate first aid kit in their vehicles and a good action plan ready should an accident occur.
