Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! - Pine Island Cranberry Co., Inc.Pine Island Cranberry Co., Inc.

We got such a great response to our Thanksgiving blog update that CEO Bill Haines thought it would be fun to do a follow-up for Christmas. So we asked our team members what they wanted Santa to bring them this year!

Admin Debra Signorelli:

I was already given the greatest gift of having both my girlies home for Christmas and we will be spending some quality time together! In keeping true to the magic of Christmas…a keratin hair treatment would be an amazing Santa gift!!!!!

Manager of Operations Matt Giberson:

1.)I would love to get duck tape for Jorge. 2.)I would also love it if Santa could bring us 42.5 degree days days from now until April 15 and one inch of rain every Friday night.

Team member Tim Bourgeois:

I have been very blessed during 2016! I know Santa Claus will be bringing me many gifts soon which will include more blessings in 2017! My favorite holiday gifts include attending Mass, breaking bread and visiting with family and friends, kolacky and pfeffernusse cookies, and Stollen. This Christmas will include several beloved and familiar family traditions, as well as, some new ones. Some traditions have passed away, but there will be new ones to fill this holiday with cherished memories. I work with many wonderful and talented folks here at PICC and I pray everyone has a safe and joyous holiday! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Facilities/Equipment Manager Louis Cantafio:

I was hoping Santa would bring me a new pair of boots and a twenty year old bottle of port wine, but then I heard that Bill had recently been in contact with Santa, so now I am expecting an “employee of the month” sign to permanently mount at the head of my parking space!

Equipment Supervisor Carlos Baez:

I want peace on earth. And a chainsaw.

Team member Bob Heritage:

I want good health and to meet Mrs. Right!

Team member Vanessa DeJesus:

I want a pink Hydrema.

[We would like to ask Santa CFO for this as well, because it sounds amazing. – Ed.]

CFO Joann Martin:

I wish that everyone gets to spend time with the ones they love this Christmas.

Equipment Team member Fred Henschel:

Santa loves me: I’d love a new truck, a new house, a case of Yuengling…

Manager of Bog Renovations Steve Manning:

A healthy and happy new year and maybe a bottle of whiskey!!!

HR Supervisor Stacey DeLaurentis:

I was going to ask Santa this year for a trip to Disney to stock up on Pixie Dust but found out I was on the Naughty List and getting a lump of coal instead!
