Roland as the Alien – Halloween 2009

Robbins Brothers Marketing Team Dresses Up for Halloween – 2009

Shulie, dressed as “Max” from Where the Wild Things Are, took 2nd prize in the office contest. Robert was a very convincing vampire (until he ate the Kosher muffin from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf), Todd was a Misfit (much less scary than his “Clockwork Orange” costume in ‘08) and Tracey was a border patrol agent. (Not sure that the high-heeled boots are part of the regulation uniform.) Anthony wore Diane’s coat, scarf, hat and sunglasses and made a convincing  Dennis Rodman (except for the skin color, he looked EXACTLY like him!) and Diane simply came as David Letterman’s worst nightmare: blackmail.

Oh That Roland…The Alien Can’t Get in the Building

Everyone’s favorite IT guy has a little trouble getting in the building today. The Halloween costume was something else though! And he hand-made the mask! What talent!

Yay! Our YouTube Video Just Hit the 100K Mark!!!

Way to go Team Robbins Brothers! The “Lovely Day” surprise marriage video with all the happy couples, including our Mission Viejo customers Michael Knobbe & Christin (the firefighter from Vernon who just returned home from Iraq) reached 100,000 views today!

Reminder – Robbins Brothers Home Office Collecting Shoes for Soles4Soles

Today is the last day to get your new or gently-worn shoes to Roland in I.T.!

Here’s Roland’s note:

I am going to be collecting your gently worn footwear to be donated to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty.  It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets.  The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone’s life. I will setup a cardboard box in the I.T. area just place your shoes there and they will given to this charity from now till October 12^th.

TeamChallenge for Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation – Robbins Brothers Employees Training for 1/2 Marathon

Robbins Brothers home office employees Angela (Ring Center) and Katie (Merchandise) are training to run a half-marathon with Team Challenge on December 6th, 2009 in Vegas. They are running to raise money for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. (Melanie in the merchandise department has a sister who has suffered from this disease for the past 20 years.) Their goal is to raise $10,000 to directly fund the mission of CCFA, to find a cure, and to improve the quality of life by those affected. To donate and support your co-workers, go to:

Robbins Brothers W.O.W. Week Photos from the Home Office

Team Volcano won the Rock-A-Hula race on Tuesday. (After an nervous review session behind closed doords, officials confirmed that team members didn’t use steroids or any performance-altering drugs to win the competition.)

Go Herman! (I think that's Herman!)

Is that Dustin coming down the corridor?
