Long before HBO's True Blood series starting taping. Back before the CW started casting for the Vampire Diaries. Before sides were being drawn for Team Edward and Team Jacob from the Twilight series. There was Team HOLDCOM and the faithful Phlebotomist of Community Blood Services who travel in their tricked-out bus searching for victims, I mean volunteers to donate blood.
 Whether you're a vampire or a Phlebotomist, getting blood from someone is no easy task. There's a good reason for this, blood is very precious and nobody want to lose it, share it or donate it. Many volunteers face their fears of the needle prick to donate, but so many others don't. For many, it's not until a personal experience with a loved one who needs blood, do they really understand how import this simple act is. As one volunteer joked "My mom needed 12 units of blood when she was in the hospital last year. So far I've donated 3 units, that means I only have to donate 9 more and I've paid her debt back."
If you're afraid of the pain, don't be. We've all experience "pain" every day of our lives that we accept. Stubbing your toe in the bathroom, stepping on a lego with bare feet, hitting your funny bone, getting a paper cut are all much more painful than the tiny pinch of the needle. If you're anxiety about giving blood, don't worry. There's video monitors and music playing while you sit an relax in a comfy chair. If you get queasy at the site of blood, no worries. The nurses and Phlebotomist make sure to keep the units of blood far behind you and out of site. So whether it's pain, anxiety or the sight of blood that stops you from donating, we challenge you to face your fears and step up to the needle. And as a reward, we'd like you to stay for a "bite" to eat. HOLDCOM will be hosting a True Blood theme luncheon to coincide with the blood drive. So hopefully your desire to eat is greater than your fears of giving blood.
Please take some time out of your day to save someone's life. Mark your calendar for January 19th between 11am - 1:30pm. Bring your courage and your appetite. RSVP newsletter@holdcom.com to let us know your for Team HOLDCOM.

Holiday Celebration at Club Holdcom |
|

by Neil Fishman
This year HOLDCOM held its Open House Holiday Party on Friday, December 18th, in our newly painted and re-organized offices in Glen Rock, NJ. With weather cooperating, about 70 of our family, friends and clients attended the festivities from 2 to 8 PM. All were treated to a potpourri of edible delights, and the mega-sushi platters were a big hit! Thanks go out to all our staff who contributed to this delightful and successful event, with special appreciation to Stacey (and husband Tom) Caropreso and Andy Begnoche. Guests were amazed at the transformation of our lower level production suites into an intimate club-like atmosphere.
Speaking of the holidays, have you noticed the rather sudden increase in emailed virtual greeting cards this year? I don't know if the trend has been statistically verified or documented, but my Inbox must have received at least twice as many as last year. And, we noticed a corresponding decrease in the number of mailed brick and mortar greeting cards. I suppose this shouldn't come as a surprise, given the impact of technology and social media on traditional print distribution and fulfillment. It's just that this year may have reached a tipping point in the balance between virtual vs. hard copy holiday greetings. Let us know your thoughts about receiving Holiday Greeting email, and whether you prefer sending or receiving virtual vs. traditional Holiday cards. One thing is certain…Holdcom is already thinking ahead about the prospect of new holiday audio greeting possibilities for 2010!
