CSI’s celebration month for 15 years of reputable service and operations was a huge success! Highlights of the festivities include our FREE seminars: a 2-part, 2-episode event which were supported by the following guest speakers and affiliates: Nelson and Associates; Strassburg, Gilmore & Wei, LLP; and MTS Law. They discussed vital information on U.S. immigration and answered our attendees’ questions and concerns about employment and work authorization in the U.S. These Anniversary Seminars were followed by thanksgiving meals that catered to a good number of eager attendees and guests. Our other speakers and sponsors, such as Panera, Melissa Enriquez Photo booth and Total Woman Gym and Day Spa promoted their services as well, on these 2 events.
Backtracking to the other features of this series, the final public seminar for September held on the 24th, ran on rather a more special theme. Unlike the past functions which included inspirational segments namely: the Thanksgiving Mass, Recreational Activity, and Immigration and Job Interview Workshop–the Sept 24, 2010 seminar and workshop focused on “Social Responsibility”. A video was shown to the audience, in the aim of reminding everyone that all of us have problems in life that we have to deal with, with faith and determination; and that there are people out there who are more devastated and in need of help. It might be a challenge in health, a family problem or an economic struggle or what not; but to everything, there is a solution and there are people who are more blessed and who should be able to help. One of the remarkable quotes that we’d like to share with you and which we learned from the video is, “Charity is not measured by the amount or cost; as long as it comes from the heart, help is always GREAT.”
After this segment, the assembly was brought to Panera Bread Cafe for a simple thanksgiving meal with our staff, just like in our other seminars. The attendees, being CSI’s special guests on its anniversary festivities, were truly given the “special treatment” when, while they were dining with our staff, their queries were answered by attorneys, in an open forum set-up.
Another remarkable anniversary event was the recreational activity for the CSI Staff, a “getting-to-know your workmate more activity”,while they partook of their korean barbeque lunch. The program continued with a “risk taking” surprise treat/game where everyone participated. Later on, they were treated to a relaxing massage.
The finale was held last October 1, 2010, when CSI’s marathon of events was closed by a Mini Seminar and Retreat exclusively for the CSI Staff, as prepared by our Vice President, Ms. Marge Ordiales. The Staff was given the chance to recollect their contributions to the company’s growth and also reflect about their lives.
A mixer/talk at Panera Bread and Café succeeded the mini seminar, as CSI continued the presentation on Social Responsibility and supported the cause for Breast Cancer Awareness. The talk was initiated by one of our affiliate partners, Atty. Mary Sanga, who gave an introduction of the H1B Visa and facilitated a panel discussion afterwards. As usual, food and beverage were provided by our sponsor, Panera Bread Cafe. In here, one of our guest speakers, Amanda Cotter, gave a brief introduction about their services and provided one of our guests with a FREE DAY SPA TICKET for 1 week, courtesy of Total Woman Gym and Day Spa.
The celebration was closed by an appreciation speech, which gave recognition to all CSI Staff for preparing and facilitating the successful series of anniversary events.
CSI is thankful to everyone who has been part of its success, especially to those who have been supportive since the beginning.CSI does not forget its roots and humble beginnings, thus, CSI celebrated the event with family and friends on the finale. CSI would like to thank all our sponsors including Panera Bread Cafe & Total Woman Gym and Day Spa of Glendale; and our affiliates and legal counsel who have taken part in the success of all our seminars, and of course, our success as a company in our 15 years of service.
Despite the busy celebration month last September, CSI never gets tired of continuing its pledge for service and sharing information to the public. This time, CSI invites you on October 27 for a Free Coffee Moment: A sit-down discussion on U.S.Employment, Dream Act for Foreign Students and Breast Cancer Awareness. Aside from efforts to continuously serve the public through employment and immigration services, we would also like to give attention to others in need like breast cancer patients. Their struggle to live for their loved ones is in itself a courageous act that all of us should learn from, in appreciating life in general. Be with us in supporting breast cancer patients. This event will be held at our Glendale Branch Office (please call us for more details). Your participation will not only be for your own benefit, but also of the Breast Cancer Society.
With grateful hearts and optimistic minds, CSI is thankful for the public’s trust in all our 15 years in operation; and we are more inspired to serve you better, in the many more years to come. CSI is proud and thankful for having remained to be your number one choice in employment and immigration services.
