Staying Safe this Winter
As the winter months approach, the freezing temperatures
can pose a significant risk to safety. It's essential to remain
aware of the weather changes and be prepared for potential
ice-related incidents. To avoid injuries and falls, it's advisable
to wear slip-resistant boots and dress appropriately for the
winter weather. Take extra precautions when traveling to
and from work, as snow and ice can make for hazardous
conditions. Remember to prioritize your safety and take
the necessary steps to protect yourself from the elements.
The UPS Plane Pull event raised an
impressive $144,377 this year! $35,392
of which was raised by the Family Fun
Zone alone. These donations go towards
supporting athletes with disabilities by
providing them with proper training to
compete in their favorite sports. If you
missed the event, make sure to attend
next year and join a team to pull a
155,000 lb. Boeing 757, bid on silent
auction baskets, play games with your
family, and tour an aircraft! Thank you to
all that donated and made this year a
record-breaking success!
As we all know, peak can be a very stressful time mentally and
physically. Follow these preparation steps to ensure a safe and
healthy peak:
Remember: Along with these winter months comes many new

time to help them.
