The 2010 Mulzer Crushed Stone, Inc. company picnics were a hit, as usual, with employees and their families. The picnic theme this year focused on celebrating the company’s 75th anniversary. Events from decades-ago picnics resurfaced, including one of the first company logos, which was the artwork for the picnic t-shirt. Young picnic-goers got to ‘shave the balloon’, ‘chug a mello-yello’ and ‘fish for candy’, among other popular games, to win fun summer prizes. Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, barbequed chicken, catfish fiddlers, creek fries and more, specially made for Mulzer Crushed Stone, Inc. employees and their families.

Employee health insurance rates are being increased and will be effective on your July 15, 2010 paycheck. We are expecting an increase of 5% or less. Final numbers will be available in May. Employees will be eligible for discounted rates if they meet specific terms of the Wellness Screenings.
In 2010, all employees will be required to participate in a minimum of one of our three (3) Health Action Campaigns to earn your discounted health insurance rate. In addition, if the results of the screening determines you, the employee, is at risk for three (3) or more factors, you will also be required to complete a coaching program with CIGNA to earn your discounted health insurance rate. The savings are substantial. We encourage you to take advantage of these free programs.
In lieu of completing a Health Action Campaign, you may also be eligible for the discount upon successful completion of any of the following, 5K run or further, half-marathon, sprint triathlon, 20+ mile bike ride or meeting your fitness goal by a personal trainer. Submit appropriate proof for company approval.
Do you know your cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and body mass index? Are there areas for improvement in your health? The confidential health screening by CIGNA, which will take about 15 minutes, will be an opportunity to answer those questions. The goal is to help you, and your spouse, achieve your health-related goals and make the most of your health care coverage.
In addition to attending the screening, each employee and spouse (covered under the health insurance plan) will be required to complete the On-Line Health Assessment. The assessment is a questionnaire about your health and well being which takes about 15 minutes to complete. Employees and spouses are encouraged to complete the health assessment prior to the screening appointment. We encourage you to complete the on-line assessment by April 2 to be eligible for a drawing of an iPod shuffle. However, if either of you are unable to complete the assessment prior to the screening, CIGNA representatives will be present to assist you. Bring your User ID and Password to the screening to complete the assessment. (Instructions to complete the on-line assessment are provided in this newsletter)
Remember, this screening and health assessment are mandatory, if you or your spouse want to remain on the health insurance plan after July 1, 2010. The next opportunity for open enrollment in the health insurance plan will be July 1, 2011, based on your participation in the wellness screenings in 2011.
