Although it’s been a few days, there’s still the faint smell of delicious chili floating though our office…



Socket joined 50 other organizations in the Rootin’ Tootin’ Chili Cookoff last weekend, benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of Columbia. This event funds the club until its next event in the fall, and allows the club to provide services to nearly 600 area kids.

Last Saturday, 10 Socketeers donned their best nerd gear and went out for a short, brisk swim.

Socket is proud to help sponsor the Polar Plunge, an annual event held to raise funds for Special Olympics Missouri. Volunteers jumped into Stephens Lake, which firefighters were busy cutting a hole into up till the hour of the event. It didn’t scare our Plungers, though – they were one of the first few teams to dive in this year!



As many of you know, our employees recently collected funds for the Walker family, who suffered a tragic house fire last month in Millersburg. Thanks to the generous contributions of so many, we were able to deliver gifts on Christmas Eve, in hopes of making the holidays a little brighter for this family.



Thank you to everyone who donated, and to the Columbia Best Buy and Fulton Moser’s for helping with the cause. If you’d still like to help the family, please send us a direct message and we’ll put you in touch with the right folks.
