We’ve all been dedicating extra hours lately, and I think it would be a great confidence booster. Any thoughts for destinations and what you’d like to see? Best, Linda From: Robert Johnson Sent: October 20, 2023, 08:45 AM To: Operations Team Subject: Re: Team Building Retreat Proposal Hi Linda, That's a fantastic idea! Perhaps we could organize a nature hike since the weather has been so pleasant recently. We might even consider planning some team challenges to keep things lively. I’m available most weekends, so just let me know what suits everyone best. Thanks for suggesting this! Robert From: Jessica Lee Sent: October 20, 2023, 09:25 AM To: Operations Team Subject: Re: Team Building Retreat Proposal Good morning everyone, A hike sounds wonderful. I think a Saturday morning would fit best so individuals can bring their friends if they want. I can help coordinate snacks and drinks — maybe a shared picnic style? Also, I’m happy to manage sending out an RSVP form so we know attendance numbers. Looking forward to it!

I can bring frisbees and playing cards. Maybe we have a friendly race with small awards for the winners. Thanks Linda for kicking this off — this will be awesome for camaraderie. Cheers, Michael From: Jenny Wu Sent: October 20, 2023, 11:15 AM To: Operations Team Subject: Re: Team Building Retreat Proposal Hey Team, I’m excited about this too. Maybe we can get some fun Costco swag items as giveaways — hats, bottles, or even reusable bags with our branding. I think everyone would enjoy that! Let’s finalize a date soon so I can check with management about funds for food and rewards. Happy to assist! Jenny
