Gary was quickly established as the "Mayor of Warner Bros.Studios" because of his enthusiasm for the work we do and hissupport of the people who do it. He also stressed the value of apositive, collaborative relationship with the City of Burbank andwas responsive to and inclusive of our studio neighbors. UnderGary's leadership, we refurbished historic office buildings andproduction space, modernized our post production departmentinto one of the premier facilities in the world and created a truecampus atmosphere for our employees. Because of Gary's visionand leadership, Warner Bros. stands today as a preeminent facil­ity envied throughout our industry.

original "Casablanca" sets from 1942 stand virtually unchanged,and artisans in the Studio's Mill building create sets and back­drops much as they did decades ago. Surrounded by history, it'seasy to forget that the company and its employees are, in fact,never standing still.

After 26 years with the company, Gary Credle is stepping backfrom his day-ta-day operations of the Studio. He will continue 10remain actively involved here at Warner Bros., but he has entrust­ed 10 me the privilege of sharing news from the Studio with you,our neighbors and friends.

I began my career at Warner Bros. when Gary hired me to join histeam. He was transitioning from the head of Physical Productionfor Warner Bros. Television to president of Warner Bros. StudioFacilities. He was so proud of this studio and its long history of filmand television production. He took me on a tour my first day andshowed me the stage curtains used in "Gypsy," the chandeliers

WHEN REPRE$lENTATfVE$I FROMthe City of Los Angeles sought insight forthe city's sustainability directive, they visitedWarner Bros. Studios in Burbank to learn

more about our environmental programs.Over 40 professionals from City Hall and various city

departments embarked on an "eco tour" featuring the Studio's richhistory, as well as our longtime commitment to sustain­ability through efforts in waste reduction, energy conservation,green building and environmental procurement. In addition toseeing some of the world's most famous filming locations, guestsalso gained insight into the Studio's infrastructure, which enablesextensive reuse and recycling of valuable materials and signifi­cant reductions in energy use through upgraded equipment andautomatic control systems. More recent environmental projectswere also highlighted, including the Studio's industry-leadingsolar electrical system (recently expanded to 500kilowatts) and our newest hybrid courier fleetof 23 Toyota Prius vehicles.

Guests also enjoyed a short film entitled"ReclaJming the Legacy: The De­construction of Building 89."Produced in partnership withWarner Bros.' Emerging Pro­fessionals affinity group, thisshort film tells the story of howWarner Bros. carefully decon­structed a building, which hadhoused grip and scenic art ma­terials for over 70 years, in orderto make way for a new sound­stage. Over 25,000 board feet of valuable Douglas fir timberswere reclaimed for reuse and for custom furniture pieces. In theend, over 92 percent of the building's materials were either re­claimed for reuse or recycled.

Warner Bros. is proud to be part of the City of Burbank, wheresustainabitity is a top priority. We look forward

to continued collaboration with the City ofBurbank and its Sustainability Action Planto further all of our sustainability goals.

FEW PrOnE ItNOW Warne<Bros. Studios like longtime employeeand Burbank resident Jill Share.

As a child, Jill would come towork at the Studio with her father,an assistant director on variousproductions including "The EB.I."and "Freebie and the Bean."

"My dad had his own director'schair," Jill said. "I'd sit in his chair, eat donuts all day,and then he'd stick me in a scene as an extra. I was likea queen for a day."

Years later, Jill returned to Warner Bros. as a full-timeemployee when she was hired to teach at the WarnerBros. Children's Center-the Studio's state-of-the-artchildcare facility for employees-when it opened in1992. By then, Jill was raising her own son and foundways 10 share her love of the Studio with him, just as herfather had done for her.

"When my son was in 12th grade, he was the drumcaptain in the band at Burroughs High School," saidJill. "One day, I invited him and his band friends to theChildren's Center to teach our class of preschoolersabout music. By the end of the day, the children couldall name their favorite instruments. Everyone had agreat time."

Jill's work at the Children's Center was unique inthat she got to know executives from all over WarnerBros., identifying them not by their titles, but, instead,by the names of their children. This allowed her to buildlasting relationships that led to later job opportunities,inciudillQ wcxk in accounting with Warner Bros. Animationand her current position as an executive assistant inthe Business Planning Department for Warner Bros.Studio Facilities. Jill loves working with her small,close-knit department and enjoys the special projectsthey take on, providing business solutions to variousdepartments on the lot.

Having virtually grown up at the Studio, it's not surprisingthat Jill feels a deep sense of family when she thinksof Warner Bros. Though her father passed away yearsago, she feels lucky to be able to work in the sameplace that he did for so many years. But her sense offamily goes beyond these personal connections.Through her experiences working in vastlydifferent departments all across the lot, Jill, more

than almost anyone else, understandswhat motivates people to come and

ake their careers here at Warner Bros."I like to smile at people when I pass

by them," Jill said. "Here at WarnerBros., there has never been a timewhen somebody hasn't smiled back.

Everyone is really happy to be here."@
