Last week, for the first time in 15 months, the Sip and Ship team came together to picnic and play (a life-sized version of Rock-Paper-Scissors called Tree-Ninja-Lumberjack). This gathering allowed us shake off stress and nervousness from months past and infuse silliness, fun and a renewed sense of energy into our team and workspace .

As we stand together on the edge of summer, we want to invite you to help us celebrate a team who has worked fervently together through the darkest of times. Some of them will be going off to college soon (Sophie, Zoe, Jack, Mira) or pursuing their own passions and dreams (Kristen, Amanda, Artemis and Gabby). Please join us in sharing in their excitement while encouraging them as they take this next big step in their lives - going out into the world to create positive change on their own terms.

As always, each member on our team looks forward to connecting with you and celebrating your milestones over a cup of coffee , mailing a package or while picking up mail from your mailbox .
​

We’ll see you soon!
