Eight of our Socketeers donned vests and gloves yesterday to clean up our Adopt-a-Spot stretch of roadway.

The area near our office (Clark Lane between Paris Rd and the Highway 63 interchange in Columbia) is looking pretty nice now, if we do say so ourselves!

We collected a total of 22 bags of trash from the roadside.

Mat Harrison was selected as Socket's You-Make-the-Difference-Award winner for March. His fellow co-workers decided his ability to move things to a state of awesomeness was worthy of recognition.

"Mat is a real asset to the Socket team," said a co-worker who nominated him for the award. "There are so many examples of him taking something and making it more awesome, saving us time and helping us serve our customers better."

Friday, April 19 marked the first game for Socket’s co-ed softball team here in Columbia, MO. The team got off to a great start with a 10-5 win!

A few employees expressed interest in starting an employee softball team for the 2013 season, and we decided it was a great idea. The last time Socket had a company team was in 2008, but we are back and ready for action!
