2 Introduction Dear Friends and Associates: In 2011, Post celebrated its 40 th Anniversary. This milestone year also marked the first time in company history that we ve closed all offices in all markets on one day to allow our 600 associates to participate in local service projects. Together, they worked on 14 different service projects, spread over 9 markets. As we ve said so many times, serving others is what we do... but in 2011, our associates took our culture of service to a new level that touched many lives and had such fun doing it. But that s not all... last year our associates held golf tournaments, bowling tournaments, and other fundraising events, enabling Post HOPE to donate to more than 55 different charities, making an impact across many areas and in many humanitarian organizations. At Post, we re not only grateful for the opportunity to give through Post HOPE, but also grateful for associates who have such a huge heart for giving! 1 David P.
