SCM Celebrates Holidays 
Supply Chain Management (SCM) staff gathered to celebrate the holiday season on Dec. 17 at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. The festivities included some tasty treats from Ann’s Catering, recognition of achievements and milestones and a lively competition to create “ugly sweater” cookies (right). The nice weather also meant that attendees could enjoy a walk through the beautiful gardens. Posters from the event hare on display at Mission Center Building and Fourth Street, but you can see a few here as well.

"I would like to thank you personally for your efforts and willingness to help. You demonstrated loyalty to your employer and organization, while at the same time you highlighted your personal concern and showed genuine sympathy in addition to being effective and prompt. – David Waxman, Sensoils
