Partnering with Catholic Family and Child Services, Imageworks and Vivid Learning Systems were able to adopt a local family for the holidays. This project allows organizations throughout the Tri-Cities to support families in the area with food and gifts for Christmas. Catholic Family and Child Services, a charitable organization, sponsors this community project each year and as our team discovered, has a truly inspiring impact on all those involved.

After receiving a list of Christmas wishes from our family, the crew at Vivid Learning Systems went straight to work. Household items, winter clothing, stockings filled to the brim, and other holiday gifts began pouring into employee offices. Delivering the gifts just in time for Christmas, our team was greeted with a family teaming with joy and thanks.

We are fortunate to be able to make Christmas a little brighter for a family in our community and help share the warmth during this season of giving. This year will hold a special place in all of our hearts and we encourage you to find the true meaning of Christmas, we certainly did.

Imageworks created a video utilizing both new and old footage to demonstrate construction progress and structure development to the public as well as Hanford employees.

In addition to the celebration video, Imageworks developed an employee gift video for Bechtel to distribute to their workforce.  The video recognizes the hard work, dedication, and vast accomplishments of Bechtel employees over the past ten years.

CHPRC’s goal is to make better use of their website to communicate progress that has been made on the Hanford Site, contracts that have been awarded and how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds are being allocated.

Local and national filming has been taking place to capture these unique stories. Local companies recently visited by Imageworks include Infinia, IsoRay and Innovatek.

Time has flown by since Imageworks collaborated with the school district to create an informational brochure describing Chiawana prior to ground breaking; now school is just around the corner. The team is once again excited to create communication tools for Chiawana and help spread the word about this innovative school.

Working with 35 local independent and chain restaurant locations, the company provided their quality french fry products to the eateries to serve for free, throughout the day.  From local hamburger favorites to national chain fast food restaurants to sports bars and hotel restaurants, thousands of residents walked in or drove thru and enjoyed a total of 25,200 free servings of fries.

In addition to satisfying thousands of Tri-Cities residents with terrific french fries, Free Fries Fryday boosted local restaurant business and helped to tie the local restaurant community to the Water Follies event.

“Lamb Weston has been an official sponsor of the Water Follies Columbia Cup for three years now, and this year we really wanted to reach out to the community in a new and bigger way,” said Jeff DeLapp, president of Lamb Weston.  “We have more than 4,000 employees who live and work here in the Columbia Basin and many of the products we make in our facilities here are enjoyed by restaurant patrons throughout the Tri-Cities area, as well as restaurants and foodservice operations around the world.  We know that people love fries, but we really didn’t know what to expect, so we’re very pleased this was such a big success for our customers and our community,” he added.

“No question about it, we did see an increase in traffic in all three of our stores. We sold more of everything… we saw a 20% bump in business particularly at the lunch hour,” said Mike Scott, owner of Bruchi’s Cheesesteaks and Subs.
