recognizing staff buying OTG merch (merchandice) for Corpsmembers December 10 2018, 1 Comment
Over the years many staff have bought onthegrade.com products for their corpsmembers for special occasions like promotions, graduations and Christmas time. Most notable was retired Tahoe Center Director John Martinez who, with OTG staff, customized the Tahoe Strong bracelet for his center. Los Padres Conservationist I Victor (Vito) Rocha, a good friend, has been buying OTG products for his corpsmembers up to his retirement in 2018. Julien Fannin from Redding has been buying the sequoia belt buckle for his crewleaders. He told me he is "playing it forward" since his Chico CI gave him one when he became a crewleader (before becoming a CI).
John, Vito and Julien used their own money for the purchases.

It has been awhile since I have been on your site “On the Grade”. Before leaving Tahoe, I was trying to put in place other resources and personal to keep the tradition of buying your products for the Tahoe corpsmembers alive. I know and felt, that having a motto like “Tahoe Strong” may push corpsmembers to do better and take pride in what they accomplish. Now that I’m retired, I hope that this legacy continues and that not only Tahoe staff, but all CCC staff continue to develop and promote corpsmembers under their charge. Tokens of appreciation given to corpsmembers goes a long way to show them how much we care and recognize them for their efforts. As a former corpsmember, I still have my pins and other tokens given to me from the great staff that I have had the pleasure of working for.
Thanks Domenic for working with me to develop and make available the great products that represent the CCC.
