Dental DonaƟon Drive
The Origin of Pi Day
The results are in! During our Children’s Dental Health Month supply drive, we collected 232 items: 65 tubes of toothpaste 65 toothbrushes 30 containers of dental floss 7 toothbrush/toothpaste sets totaling 14 items Several multipacks of toothbrushes totaling 58 toothbrushes
Did you know that March 14 is Pi Day?
The collected items will be donated to the United Way. Thank you once again for your SKYGENerosity!
Pi Day was founded by Physicist Larry Shaw in 1988. It is a day to celebrate the mathematical constant pi (π) and to eat lots of pie! Celebrated in countries that follow the month/day (mm/dd) date format, as the digits in the date (March 14 or 3/14), are the first three digits of π (3.14).
If your team has Pi Day event, please email pictures to #ROI2 Squad so we can include in the April newsletter. (check out the ROI2 Squads favorite pies on page 5)
SKYGEN Celebrates NaƟonal Chili Day There’s nothing better than the warmth and comfort of chili on a chilly (or in Wisconsin, downright cold) winter’s day. Thus, it’s fitting that National Chili Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in February. This year, the sales & marketing team at Lilly Road and the Port Road campus held a chili potluck lunch. Not only did the chili smell (and taste) delicious, everyone had a great time!

Living Our Core Values
Acknowledgement Shows Integrity!
Integrity is the core value I immediately identify with. For me it’s about always being honest, reliable, and humble (with a sense of humor) in all aspects of my life. Having integrity naturally leads to a fuller sense of ownership and respect for whatever I’m doing. My father’s good-bye hug is always followed by a “be good.” I take that to heart as I strive to stay grounded, choose my words and actions carefully, and see challenges as opportunities for growth and understanding.
