Whatrsquos Happening for Rideshare Week (Continued from page 3)

ldquoWe had (and can have again) a lunch for employees

who are considering carpoolsrdquo says Eileen OrsquoBrien

ETC for Archdiocesan Catholic Center To organize

the lunch she got a list of home zip codes from

human resources and identified which had the highest

concentration of employees an idea she got from

fellow ETC Imelda Bermejo Staffers who lived in or near those zip codes

were invited to a get-together lunch ldquoEven if people did not want to

carpool I advised them to come to meet their neighbors just in case

their car breaks down and they need a ride to work

one dayrdquoAn idea from Hsiao-Ching Chen with Los Angeles

County to drive home the ldquogo greenrdquo theme for

who are considering carpoolsrdquo says Eileen OrsquoBrien

ETC for Archdiocesan Catholic Center To organize

the lunch she got a list of home zip codes from

fellow ETC Imelda Bermejo Staffers who lived in or near those zip codes

were invited to a get-together lunch ldquoEven if people did not want to

carpool I advised them to come to meet their neighbors just in case

their car breaks down and they need a ride to work
