In March of 2011, Moncure Plywood completed it's first annual March Madness to Safety, which was initiated to increase safety awareness within the company. Eight teams received points for completing S.T.O.P cards, completing one-on-one interviews with the team leaders, and reciting the 5 Keys to Success. The 5 keys to Success were created for employees to remember the priorities at Moncure Plywood:

1. Safety - Always follow company SOP's at your work center and all other parts of the plant.
2. Environmental - Always remember to be environmentally friendly in all parts of the plant.

The Safety Award for the first quarter of 2011 goes to all Moncure Plywood employees for working twelve consecutive months with no OSHA recordable injuries, an accomplishment this company has not seen in 22 years. Congratulations to all Moncure Plywood employees and thank you for your efforts to work safely every day.

A local teen, T.J. Blake, completed his Eagle Scout Project at the Moncure School in October 2010. His project focused on building shelves for the FUEL UP (food until everything looks up) program. His shelves now serve as a place to store and sort food for local families. We are excited about the opportunity to assist in this project for our local community.

Moncure Plywood would like to congratulate the Finishing Department for their excellence in safety for the 3rd Quarter of 2010. We appreciate their dedication to working safely each day and leading the company in our STOP card program with 100% participation.
