Sharing the Love

Fellow BCBSNC employees and VetNet members

The Plan (that's what we call BCBSNC) supports a number of groups within the company that are supposed to foster networking and collaborative efforts throughout the company. There's one called WEN (women's employee network), Spectrum (LBGTQ), SEAnet (parents of special needs kids), YoPro (young professionals), etc. I belong to VetNet (veterans and family members of veterans and anyone interested in veterans' issues). All groups are open to everyone, but the variety allows you to jump into something that appeals to you. Most groups do community charity events all year. This year, VetNet, joined with the USO in adopting some families of active duty military stationed at Ft. Bragg. My department collected money, then me and Sharon went shopping last Thursday. It is such fun shopping with other people's money to get gifts for people in real need. Our family was 2 mommies with 9 and 11 month old kids. I know we are helping them have a very Merry Christmas this year. Kinda makes you feel all warm inside.
