It will come as no surprise to those who know her that Shakira is our first Employee of the Season. Shakira has been our Front Desk Manager at the flagship 520 location, where she manages the flow of clients and employees throughout the day, making sure everyone has what they need and knows what they're doing. You can see her here six days per week, often accompanied by he daughter Nia, both of them universally adored. Shakira also spearheads much of RGs charity work, creating wonderfully successfull fundraising events, most recently for the Braking the Cycle AIDS ride, raising over $1500 for the cause while bringing people together and putting on a great show. Shakira is one of the many special people we are fortunate enough to have in our family.

Shout-outs are in order for DeJuan Lewis, Chris LaCour, Jim Ku, and Lorraine Cink, who were also nominated by clients and/or other staff members.

 

Braving the elements, fatigue, and what he now refers to as "The Mountains of Rhode Island", RG booker Jim Ku rode over 200 miles last weekend for the "Braking the Cycle" AIDS ride. Thanks to the support of our community, Jim and RG raised over $4,500, exceeding Jim's initial goal by nearly $1,000. Jim has already signed up for next year, so this looks like it will be an annual event! Thanks again to all those who donated, and all those who came to our fundraiser on the 18th.
Keep an eye out here, and on FB and Twitter, for info on upcoming RG charity events.
