T9 COMPANY CHALLENGE 2020: The One Where We Run This State–Together

T9ers Run Across California

From Lake Tahoe to the Bay, a team-minded company that is comfortable with firsts went for one more: our first company challenge tackled solo.

Every year, Title Niners have the opportunity to take on an annual athletic challenge.

Pockets Are Power

Sharon Owens quoteSometimes the pockets on women’s clothing really suck.

But the truth is, we have it a lot better than our sisters before us. NONE of their dresses had pockets, and what pockets they had were hard-to-access pouches tied on underneath their skirts. They moved to carrying purses because that was actually EASIER. (Yikes.) (more…)
