A Holiday Thank You

It was truly a wonderful gathering of colleagues and invited guests at the annual Holiday Party held Saturday, December 12, at the beautifully decorated Doubletree Hotel in Torrance.

It was amazing to watch all departments outdo their performances from last year with creative twists that carried a holiday theme. From the Addams Family theme song (forever remembered by those in attendance as the Sunrider Family song—snap-snap) to the musical phenomenon, Glee. Every department had a blast as the audience both laughed and cheered all courageous performers.

The evening was highlighted with award ceremonies and the always exciting raffle drawings. The night is never complete without Drs. Chen delighting staff with kind words of acknowledgement on a job well done in a challenging economic environment.

Every single member of the Sunrider team sends their sincerest thanks to all who contributed to a special night made possible by your continued support and generosity. Your thoughtfulness and personal notes sent with your donations confirms our mutual commitment to making Sunrider the best company and gives true meaning to what we refer to as “the Sunrider Family.”

Here’s what some of our thankful corporate staff had to say:

“Wow—despite the current economic strife—so much was donated! I am personally so very thankful for every IBO’s generosity. It was my first time to win something and that something was $250, which really helps my wife and me, considering the new arrival of our baby girl. Thanks to all who contributed! The party was an absolute blast.” —James Moore, International

“The annual Sunrider Holiday Party is always a lot of fun. I truly want to thank all the IBOs who donated money to this wonderful occasion. I know everyone who donated really did it with love and appreciation. I would like to extend kindness to the Chens for giving us a wonderful night to remember and promise of a fruitful new year.”—Coleen Catamisan, Order 

“I always enjoy the annual Sunrider holiday party—it is a great time to socialize with co-workers. However, this year’s celebration was exceptional. For the first time in 11 years, I won a prize—$200 cash. It really put me and others in a great mood. During the party, I asked myself, ‘What can I do with this to continue the joy?’ I donated the money to a charity. Thanks to the IBOs’ generosity, the prize made a difference in my life, and now it is making a difference in other lives.”—David Stine, Marketing

“This is my 10th year at the Sunrider Holiday Party and I’ve enjoyed all of them. Every year we exercise our brain to squeeze out performance ideas and the performances are getting better and better each year. I love to see the different sides of characters and the talents of my co-workers. Of course, one of the most exciting moments is when you hear your name as a raffle winner. This year, I won a cash prize of $275 and I will buy donuts for our department, because everyone is working so hard and deserves to have a “sweet” holiday season. Sunrider is a big family. The relationships between IBOs and employees are like brothers and sisters. Under the directions of our parents, Dr. and Mrs. Chen, we help each other achieve our goals. Thanks to the many IBOs for your generosity—I wish you all a wonderful holiday season.”—Kevin Hsiung, IT

“I look forward to the Sunrider Holiday Party because it is a special time when we can socialize with people we oftentimes only see in a professional environment. At this great function, we can relax the professional boundaries and truly get to know our co-workers on a personal basis. This year’s Holiday Party was especially important because the environment was made possible by the efforts and resources provided by the IBOs. This is one Holiday Party I will not be forgetting anytime soon. I cannot wait for next year. Thank you all.”—Michelle Castaneda, Legal

Here’s a big thank you from all of Sunrider International’s corporate staff for your kindness and generosity and best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season.
