EFNT Member Company Telligent doing an awesome job with the book drive benefiting Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation!

EFNT kicks off its Book Drive benefiting Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation. Several Companies are participating and we are really excited! Telligent came up with a really cool idea to kick off their drive.... "edible book sampling" was set up in their break room. The theme was "Share Your Favorite Childhood Book(s)", which is also the theme for the book drive...Tiffany Henry, EFNT Practitioner at Telligent shared with the company some of her favorite childhood books & each book was accompanied by an edible treat that related to the book shared. For example: Dr. Seuss' "Hop on Pop" is one of her favorite books, so she displayed the book & shared two containers of popcorn for employees to enjoy with the message "Hop on Popcorn" next to it. Tell us what you are doing to make your book drive interesting...
