☀️ **Hello, July!** 🍉🌻

July arrives like a ray of sunshine with a pocket full of popsicles, fireworks, backyard barbecues, and long, lazy evenings. It's the perfect time to enjoy everything summer has to offer—but it's also a great reminder to take extra care of yourself during the hot weather.

💧 **Before You Head to Work**
Start your day by drinking plenty of water and packing a refillable water bottle. Eat a light, healthy meal, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing, and don't forget the sunscreen if you'll be spending time outdoors. A good night's sleep and checking the weather forecast before you leave can also help your body handle the summer heat.

🏡 **When You Get Home**
After a long day, continue taking care of yourself. Rehydrate with water or an electrolyte drink, enjoy a healthy meal, and cool down with a shower or by relaxing in an air-conditioned or well-ventilated space. Pay attention to your body—if you experience dizziness, nausea, muscle cramps, confusion, or unusual fatigue, don't ignore it. These can be signs of a heat-related illness and may require medical attention.

❤️ At **Laclede Industries**, the safety and well-being of our employees is our highest priority. By taking a few simple precautions before, during, and after work, we can all enjoy a safe, healthy, and fun summer.

Have a wonderful July, stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy making memories with family and friends! ☀️😎🇺🇸

Employee Spotlight
This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Cody, one of our Assistant Supervisors and a true jack-of-all-trades around the facility. While lawn season has everyone moving at full speed, Cody has been working tirelessly to keep the recycling department running smoothly.
From making sure employees stay safe, to keeping the department organized, to rotating our constantly overflowing recycle bins out front, Cody tackles every task with a positive attitude and strong work ethic. After nine years with Laclede Industries, it’s safe to say we’d be a little lost without him. Thank you, Cody, for everything you do!
We also want to give a well-deserved shoutout to our very own Jerry Hudson. If dedication had a face, it might just be Jerry’s. He leads with experience, patience, empathy, and just the right amount of humor to keep everyone smiling through even the busiest days.
On the rare occasions Jerry takes a day off, the whole facility feels a little quieter. His leadership and presence make a difference every single day, and we are incredibly thankful to have him on our team. Thank you, Jerry — we’re lucky to learn from you every day!

Staff Spotlight
This month’s Staff Spotlight goes to Brian Green! Brian has been with us for a little over a year, and in that time he has shown outstanding dedication, growth, and positivity.
As one of our Conway Welcome Center Supervisors, Brian continues to uphold the high standards expected at the Welcome Center while always bringing a willingness to learn and grow. He even achieved perfect attendance during his entire first year — now that’s commitment!
Watching Brian’s confidence and leadership grow has been amazing, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything he accomplished so far. Thank you, Brian, for all your hard work and dedication — we can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

May We Help You?

We MAY have stayed busier than the bees waking up after winter. Spring came and went in the blink of an eye, but our hardworking lawn crews definitely noticed every inch of it! From early mornings to long afternoons, their dedication has kept everything looking beautiful all season long.

May was full of fresh starts, friendly faces, and plenty of busy days here at Laclede Industries! We were excited to welcome six new employees and one new staff member to our growing family. Be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming staff introductions — and trust us, you’ll want to meet them!

You may have seen our newest staff member Meghyn Shockley. She comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and an eagerness to learn all about Laclede Industries. Meghyn is going to be an awesome addition to the Laclede Industries team help us welcome her to our family!
