Custer County Chief

Did you know...?

Thank you, Christi!

- BY DONNIS HUEFTLE-BULLOCK General Manager

We always feel good when we can surprise and do something good for one of our staff at the Chief.

Mona, Meghan and I recently attended the Nebraska Press Associatio­n (NPA) Convention in Kearney. Christi stays home; there are no continuing education programs for bookkeeper­s and office managers. She stays here to make sure the phone is answered and the office doors are kept open.

As always, NPA holds an auction for the foundation that funds scholarshi­ps for high school and college students in the journalism field. This year there was an interestin­g item on the auction block! A volleyball that had a photo stitched into it of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln volleyball team. The ball is signed by # 2 Kenzie Knuckles and #10 Madi Kubik.

To say Christi is an avid volley ball fan would be an understate­ment. She was completely surprised when we brought this back to her! She does so much for us and for all of you keeping your subscripti­ons organized. We were really excited we had a chance to bid on this and get the winning bid.

The volleyball and image were donated to the auction by Jeremy Buss Photograph­y, Jeremy does many photograph­s for UNL. He was one of the speakers at the conference and we enjoyed getting to know him. We are excited as he is willing to do a Zoom call for us with all of our sports photograph­ers in the coming month.

At the Chief, we all work together every day and feel like we are truly a family at work. Christi did not take the volleyball home; it is at the office. If you, too, are a volleyball fan, we encourage you to stop by the office and allow Christi to share it with you also!
