It's hard to believe that 2012 is almost over! We've spent another wonderful year working with you, helping your businesses grow and learning more about you. We hope this holiday season brings you, your family and your business every possible joy.
We'll be closed Dec. 24 & 25th, but open on Dec. 26-28. In fact, we'll be updating COATS during that time. Then, we'll close again Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, but we'll hit the ground running on Jan. 2, ready for the cavalcade of fun that is year-end.
We love hearing from you, especially if you've discovered a neat COATS trick. Just send us a "Did You Know" for COATS and you could win a $25 gift card. We will even post your tip on the DYK COATSsql Facebook page for your 15 "posts" of fame :)
In comfort and joy,

Making the Holidays Happier
Instead of spreading cheer with holiday cards this year, we've decided to concentrate the cheer in our local area. COATS has donated a gift to the Roc Solid Foundation, a group devoted to helping kids who are beating cancer. We've also made a gift to the Child Nutrition Programs within the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia to combat hunger among kids and help the future grow up strong.

Did You Know We're on Pinterest?
 We've caught the latest wave in social media and have three boards on Pinterest:
Feel free to follow us or repin or just peruse our boards. See you there! We're Also on Google+
 We've also established a page on Google+ for everyone who's on that site. We're posting mostly the same content as on our "Staffing Stuff" Pinterest board. But we must admit, it's a little lonely there right now. If you're on Google+, please let us know and we'll try to form a little staffing outpost on it. :-)

Help us Help YOU!
The COATS Users Group on LinkedIn is starting to heat up! Many users are discussing the new Employee Portal! We created this group for COATS users to discuss the software with us and with each other so we can all get more out of it.
This is a members-only group, so you don't have to worry about anyone wandering in and spamming us. Unfortunately, that means you do have to apply for membership, but we promise you'll get in; all you have to be is a COATS user. We look forward to seeing you there!
