As Thanksgiving approaches, we’d like to take the time to thank our amazing Green Key community! This includes all of our incredible clients, candidates, and employees whose continuous support and dedication keeps us going every single day. It has been a busy year and we would not be where we are without the relationships we’ve built.

Reflecting on the year and expressing how grateful we are is always important to us. If your company or organization has clients and candidates, as well as a reliable staff, it’s important to extend your gratitude for their business and hard work. If you’re wondering how to begin, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.

Select an appropriate format

For some companies, handwritten notes may be personal and attainable. However, for larger organizations with several connections, this can be difficult and time consuming. Consider a digital note, with graphics pertaining to your business, and a personalized message.

Express your appreciation

Know beforehand exactly what you are thanking your community of connections for. Rather than generalizing, specify exactly why you are grateful, whether it be a purchase they made, a donation, or their corporate collaboration with you throughout the year. Your recipient will immediately feel as though their presence and help was valuable to your company.

Mention the future

To round out your letter or note, always be sure to mention the future and your intention to maintain a strong relationship. This will build a sense of loyalty with your recipient that other companies may not be providing for them. Always express that you would be thrilled to continue working together or supporting each other.

Thank again and close out

Toward the end of your letter, be sure to thank them one last time. When signing your name, try using terms such as “cheers,” “all the best,” or “have a wonderful day…” to maintain sincerity. Always include your name afterwards and provide a way for your recipient to respond if they’d like. For instance, adding a return email address or inbox will give them a direct outlet to contact you.

Green Key is so grateful and appreciate of our entire community! We are wishing you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving and look forward to celebrating the holiday season with you all soon!

Honoring Dr. King By a Day of Service

When Martin Luther King Jr. Day was first declared a national holiday, celebrations were small and quiet affairs. Today, there are parades in cities from coast-to-coast; financial markets and banks are closed; government workers nationally and in many states have the day off; and it is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service.

Calling it a “day on, not a day off,” the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) promotes volunteerism and community projects as a way of honoring Dr. King. Working with The King Center in Atlanta, the CNCS annually awards grants to organizations to develop and coordinate service projects on the MLK Day of Service.

Among the projects taking place today are a 50-volunteer effort to build and equip “little libraries” in Louisiana, and 250-volunteer effort in Englewood, NJ to prepare 2,000 kid-friendly, healthy and easy-to-prepare snack food packages. In New York City, more than 500 volunteers are expected to participate in a series of service projects to support low-income, needy children, seniors and families.

“The most successful projects connect to the life and teaching of Dr. King, meet a pressing community need, and include time to reflect on his teachings,” the CNCS explains, quoting Dr. King who said, “Everyone can be great because everybody can serve.”
