NEW FOR 2014: VETERAN'S DAY
The company is adding another day to our list of holidays – Veteran’s Day.
BUT, it’s not for everyone. Most everyone here will still be working that day.
Only Confer Plastics and Adecco personnel who are veterans or currently serving in the armed forces will receive the day off and the holiday pay that comes with it.
We are doing this to recognize the men and women who REALLY deserve that day off --- the people who risked life, limb, and livelihood to ensure that we all have the freedoms that we enjoy.
At last count, we have 9 people who will be receiving that new annual benefit.
A big “thanks” goes out to them for their service!

BLIZZARD UPDATE
Niagara
County has been unaffected by the blizzard affecting parts of WNY. We
didn't even get a dusting of snow at the plant overnight and today. So,
there is production on Tuesday. BUT, a few miles away in Erie County,
conditions are horrible and bans are in place, so Erie County residents
will be excused from work (be safe!). Niagara County residents are still
to report to work.

SABRES RAFFLE TO BENEFIT UNITED WAY
To help our United Way fundraising campaign (which in turn helps children and families across Niagara County), we are raffling off a pair of Sabres tickets. They are for the Tuesday, January 21st game versus the Florida Panthers. They are excellent seats: Section 123, row 12, seats 13 and 14.
For $5 you can buy a raffle ticket that will be put into a random drawing to receive the tickets. On Friday, December 27th, we will draw one raffle ticket from all entries and that person will receive both Sabres tickets. You can enter more than once. All proceeds will go directly to the United Way. For every entry, you will receive a receipt so you can note your donation to charity on your 2013 tax returns.
This raffle is open to all Confer Plastics employees and friends and family of Confer Plastics.
Please participate – you’ll be helping a great cause and you might be able to see the rejuvenated Buffalo Sabres.

SWIM SPA PANELS
Yesterday we produced some parts off of our new mold which expands our spa panel program into new territory: We will now be offering cabinet panels to manufacturers who are in the swim spa industry.
The swim spa market is a growing one in North America and we will be able to help the manufacturers save money (over extruded or wood panels) and offer an attractive alternative.
If you make swim spas, please contact Dennis Lederhouse for more information at dennis@conferplastics.com

CONFER PLASTICS PRODUCED ICONIC CHRISTMAS PRODUCT
One of the iconic images of the holiday season was manufactured by Confer Plastics.
Everyone is familiar with the leg lamp in the movie "A Christmas Story". It was the prized possession of The Old Man (played by Darren McGavin) which was ultimately broken by his wife.
We made the leg that can be seen in the classic scene below...
