Emily has only a few more hours left before she chops off all of her curls; and she's got a lot of them. Let the countdown begin... It’s here! Saint Baldrick’s Day! I’m sooooooooo excited. The fundraising efforts have been astonishingly successful. People were so incredibly giving and supportive that I reached my goal in 2 weeks! Then out of the blue, Michael (our Category Insights Manager) upped the ante by offering to shave his head as well if we doubled my goal. “I’m not exactly sure why, but there seems to be an abundance of people with a vested…

We are so lucky here at Clif, I swear. I guess I occasionally take for granted all of the programs and interests that CB&C fosters. Last week, however, I was quickly reminded when I brought in Emily Colwell and Lola the Ambassa“dog” for a volunteer orientation from the Berkeley Animal Shelter, located just a few blocks away from our office.

Kevin has these really nifty shoes left over from our Disco Night. He proudly displays them in his office, in an easily accessible manner for anyone to use just in case they need a little…boost.

The Clif Bar Ski trip was last weekend. 160 of us descended upon Lake Tahoe, CA, skiing, boarding, snow shoeing, ice skating, basically taking over Northstar in full force . In fact, at one point there were sixteen of us heading down the mountain together, at the same time, sharing the slopes with all sorts of folks, including a few boarders competing in the Vans Triple Crown. While the majority of Clifs-ters are skiers (as deduced from a chair lift ride this very day and up for debate), those boarders managed to wow some of our wool socks off. In…

It’s been a while since SR decided to throw a Waffle Wednesday. It's never easy to know when it might happen next. I guess since it’s applicably called Waffle Wednesday, one has a pretty good chance of figuring out which day of the week it could be. But the month? Completely up in the air. It all started when Pat got back from Europe and became stoked with all things related to nutella. Naturally, this obsession lead to the first ever Waffle Wednesday, which, despite the fact that the breakfast was declared as a long-standing event to occur the third…
