CEA HoldEm for Heroes 300x300 Hold Em for Heroes
Last week, our team took part in a charity event for Heroes for Children. We had a poker tournament within the office to determine who the top 4 would be – and the Top 4 went to compete at the event last week in Dallas. (Names were NOT drawn at random out of a hat. The 4 that were chosen to play in the tournament have amazing poker skills, far surpassing all others in the office.)

Lindsay made it all the way to the TOP 20!  She was at one of the final tables, playing against professionals!

Heroes for Children provides financial and social assistance to families, within the state of Texas, with children (0-22 yrs of age) battling cancer. Call-Em-All was a proud sponsor of the Hold ‘Em for Heroes event, and we enjoyed being a part of the tournament!

Merry Christmas from Call-Em-All!

This year we decided to break our Christmas party into two separate events so we could host the most people. If you go to our Facebook Page, you will see our office decorated with friends and family celebrating together.

We first gathered our families for a dinner celebration. Between drinks, entrees, and friends, it was a grand ol’ time. The night consisted of talking about the past year, plans for the holidays, and watching the little ones play. We had the opportunity to meet our co-workers spouses and finally put faces to names. Go check out our Facebook page so you can put a face to our names as well!

A few days later we had a tacky Christmas sweater party and wrapped presents for a local nursing home. Donating time and gifts has been a holiday tradition at Call-Em-All for the past four years. Pat, our Customer Service Manager, diligently worked on this project for more than a month. She went shopping and got every resident a specific item on his/her Christmas list and put all their gifts into boxes. Between laughing and wrapping presents, and not to forget the desserts and food, everyone had a good time. We will deliver the presents next week and we can’t wait to see the looks on their faces!

This past year, we hired three new employees and rolled out many new projects. On a customer service perspective, we’ve added the chat feature and have more people to answer the phones and emails so we can get back to you quickly. We also changed our pricing for texting to half a credit, and created the Website Widget so your members can receive an invitation to opt-in to your keyword online. Not only that, but we created an Audio Library and created the ability to Edit Broadcasts after you’ve started them.

You might notice that we do get the in spirit around here as well. From Santa hats on chairs, to lights around cubes, or even a Christmas tree made of lights, we enjoy decorating and being festive during this holiday season.

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas.

Many of you know that we pride ourselves on answering the phone in person and not sending you into a voicemail system. We have been working with a skeleton crew this week, so it’s been hard to keep up – especially when our skeleton crew is playing hockey in the parking lot!  Here in Dallas we have had ice and snow this week– so far today it is up to 6 inches!! Maybe this isn’t much for y’all up in the north, but that’s a lot here in Texas! We should be back to normal on Monday. If you need assistance were always available 24×7 at accountsupport@call-em-all.com.

movember3 Movember Month at Call Em All!The men of Call-Em-All have proudly joined the Movember movement! We’ll be supporting men’s health by growing (or attempting to grow) mustaches. I’m particularly excited by this endeavor because my father-in-law has been battling prostate cancer and my father is a testicular cancer survivor.

- 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in his lifetime
- 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime

This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I’m asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to support the great work of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG. To help, you can either:

- Go here and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
- Write a check payable to Movember, referencing my name or Registration Number 918630 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726

To keep our wives from getting upset, we’ve made this a great charity event. Call-Em-All has agreed to DOUBLE MATCH all donations to our Movember team!! So, a tax-deductible donation of $20 nets $60 for men’s health research. What a deal!

Check out our Call-Em-All Team Movember Page, donations are appreciated icon smile Movember Month at Call Em All! .  Follow our “Moustachery” on Facebook & Twitter. We hope you’ll join us in “changing the face” of men’s health.

Rarely do we get 5 inches of snow in Texas, so we had to take advantage of it! We decided to get out of the office for a bit and throw some snowballs and build ourselves a company snowman.
Enjoy! Read More »
