both!) and you are not currently a logger, register

eight (8) days in one month! It’s easy! Register at
your Commuter Rewards site and click on the
appropriate choice for “Usual Mode of Transportation.”

SpotLight Winners |
|
Two deserving Town Center area employees are $100
richer for logging their work commutes during the first
quarter of 2006. Sharon Wilmot of
Heidelberg logged the most carpool trips over a
90-day period.
Jayson Grabowski of Cryolife walked to
work more than 30 days over a 90-day span.
We’re looking for new employees to SpotLight. Do you
log bike trips, telework days, or use a variety of
alternatives? CobbRides will be searching for more
faithful loggers this month, so stay tuned and keep on
logging.

Walk Challenge Winners |
|
Excitement is in the air as Town Center area
employees compete for the top prize in the 2006 Walk
There Challenge. But don’t despair! Even if your idea of
exercise is walking to the water cooler, you may have
a chance to win. As you continue to log your steps
during the month of April, you may find yourself singing
along to your favorite tunes on a new iPod Shuffle.
Two lucky walkers will be randomly chosen each week
in April for those coveted prizes. First week winners
Ketrice Glover of HCC Life and
Walter Bridges of Ryla Teleservices are
new iPod owners just for logging their steps. So don’t
quit now. You could be our next winner! At the end of
April, all steps will be tallied and we will award the one
person with the most steps with the Grand Prize
getaway weekend. See our website for more details.
