DINE OUTS & PEOPLE’S PINT PARTNERSHIPS

Do you have a local charitable organization you are involved with or passionate about? If so, we want to know! We are preparing to schedule our dine-out and People's Pint Tap partnerships for 2020, and are always interested in supporting the organizations that are important to our team. If you have any suggestions or comments, please email Katy or send her a HotSchedules message. (And please don't hesitate to let her know if you get involved with any awesome charitable events throughout the year as well!)

EMPLOYEE TOURS

Just a reminder to everyone who hasn’t attended a Production Brewery Tour yet - you have until Friday, January 31st to attend one! Please sign up via the web site. You only have a few chances left! If you foresee any issues with being able to attend one, please let Paige know.

MAJESTIC THEATRE COMP SHOWS

There are a few upcoming Majestic Theatre shows that as Block 15 employees we get free tickets to! If you’re interested, please let Kevin know.

STAFF PROVISIONS

In order to garner some more entries in our Staff Provisions, we’re going to make it interesting! For the first quarter of the year (January-March), anyone that has their Provision chosen will be entered in a raffle. At the end of the quarter there will be a drawing for a $50 gift card from the Downtown Corvallis Association - which will be redeemable at any of these businesses!

You can submit ideas here!
