Although these pins are appreciated by staff and <br />worn by many with great pride, I have continued to look for <br />other fuims of reccgnition or appreciation for employees hod <br />continuing service with the City. Recently I was approa_..- <br />by a salesman handling what is known as the "Amagift gifts <br />Atbums'. These albums are essentially a catalog of g <br />that can be ordered by an individemployedwho ualhin theas eprivatived ae gift <br />certificate from someone. a of a system to recognize <br />sector my employers used this type <br />employees for service as well as for Christmas gifts and it <br />is my understanding that several cities in the Metropolitan <br />Area, including Richfield, provide these gifts to leng9th of <br />employees as awards Ceoeificatesanniversandealbums9rangefrom a <br />service.
