Tasks
This week's task is to redecorate Jim and Pam's new house. You are to download a copy of their living room and use whatever image editing program you want to decorate their living room. You can add whatever you want, but you must not change the placement of doors, walls, floors, or windows. You also cannot remove the painting from the wall. This take can be a lot of fun and very creative. You receive 50 SB's for submitting a design. The deadline for this task is Wednesday, Nov. 26th at Noon ET.

If you haven't already completed the Cultural Quiz, please take a minute to do that task also.

Company wide voting has begun for the Business Ethics Video and the Sales Script has begun! You have until Wednesday, Nov. 26th at 3pm ET to vote for your favorite video and script.

What's Going on in Muncie
PollyProject has organized our Unsecret Santa! Polly will match us up by drawing our names from a Longaberger basket. We will then leave each other notes, gifts for our desks, send cards, or whatever you decide to do. It will be a great way to get to know each other and celebrate Christmas here at DMI-Muncie! You have until this Friday to sign up at the Unsecret Santa thread. Thank you Polly!

Stanley has posted a new thread for our Black Tie Gala in January. Since there are quite a few of us who are new to the forum this year, Stanley has posted some examples of what is done at a virtual party. Stop by the Muncie Black Tie Gala to see the examples and offer your suggestions!

Stanley has also started a Branch Scavenger Hunt. The first list is on the Branch Forum Scavenger Hunt thread. Your answers are due to Stanley by Friday in a PM. This counts as a mini-task in the RTTR and you will receive 2 points.

Once again, you can catch Ball State football on ESPN2 this week, Tuesday at 7pm. This is the final game of the season until the bowl games. They are ranked #15 this week in the AP Poll. Go Cards!
I said this was the Thanksgiving Edition of The Munice Minute. I want everyone to take a minute and reflect on what you are thankful for. I know it has been tough financially for many of us and I am sure some of us have had other struggles to that we have not shared on the forum. As bad as it gets, I have always believed that there is at least one thing to be thankful for, whether it be family, love, health, or even our real life employment. So please take a minute and think about this and think about others this week.
I hope everyone has a great week! Stop by the Branch Recruitment thread and earn your SB's! Enjoy the time with your families and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
