On July 16, 2002, at the July TOP TEN Meeting five corporations were honored for their support of the Done Deals program and for meeting the Corporate Challenge that was issued at last Spring's Round-Up Luncheon. The Challenge, to submit at least five done deals by the deadline, was issued to motivate sustaining members to submit more done deals and therefore increase the total numbers for the year. In comparison to last year, the number of done deals has increased over 100%!

Congratulations to our Corporate Challenge Winners - Frito-Lay, Inc., J.C. Penney Company, Texas Instruments, TXU and Verizon. In addition, a drawing was held of the winners to give away a pizza party to the winning purchasing department/supplier diversity team. Frito-Lay won this prize and cashed it in for their monthly meeting last week.
