Miller’s birthday, employees from across the Group join together to go out into their communities and volunteer. We do this to honor Larry and his wish that we “go about doing good until there’s too much good in the world.” During our eighth annual Day of Service, more than 2,000 employees picked up rags, paint brushes, rakes, garbage bags, and hammers to clean, beautify, and repair the places in our communities that needed the most help. We exemplified our company values and gave service to those who needed us. More than 300 employees in Arizona offered their service to five different organizations. Volunteers in Phoenix prepared care packages for St. Mary’s Food Bank and prepped meals at St. Vincent de Paul. They also cleaned and did landscaping at Horses Help, a facility that provides therapy horses to special needs and atrisk communities. In Tucson, Arizona, employees primed and painted walls and installed drywall for a family benefitting from Habitat for Humanity, and packed and sorted boxes at the Southern Arizona Community Food Bank. Corona, California, employees cleaned, built and installed shelves, and reorganized at the Corona- Norco Family YMCA. It’s amazing to see what we can accomplish together in just a few hours. Multiply that service by all of the other community efforts we participate in throughout the year, and you will see the tremendous impact we’re able to have on our communities. In addition to the “service” aspect of the Day of Service, there are several other valuable takeaways from the day: • The camaraderie between employees who are working together to accomplish a task • New friendships that are made by interaction between individuals whose jobs normally wouldn’t cause them to interact • The kind gestures that are shared between coworkers sharing paint brushes, picking weeds, and organizing cans on shelves While all of this comes into focus on the Day of Service, these values are exhibited throughout our organization on a daily basis. Whether it’s going that extra step to help a customer with an issue, hosting coat drives during the winter, collecting school supplies for children at local schools, or volunteering as a teacher or a mentor with a local children’s group, our employees make a difference in their respective communities year-round. We thank you for your commitment to our company values, and we thank you for making the Larry H. Miller Group the best place in town to work and the best place in town to do business. ◆ Sr. VP Pat Kroneburger and GM Johnny Martinez served alongside Arizona employees. 2 LHM Subaru Boise Grand Opening 4 LHM Day of Service 2017 12 Society of Excellence 2 LHM Subaru Boise Grand Opening 4 LHM Day of Service 2017 12 Society of Excellence 2 LHM Subaru Boise Grand Opening 4 LHM Day of Service 2017 12 Society of Excellence 2 LHM Subaru Boise Grand Opening 4 LHM Day of Service 2017 12 Society of Excellence It’s amazing to see what we can accomplish together in just a few hours.

We created four different issues of Winning Spirit Magazine to showcase the Day of Service activities in each of the different regions. The Larry H. Miller Group of Companies The Larry H. Miller Day of Service: Going about doing good. A day of service doesn’t have to stop at just a single day. Few things are more rewarding than giving your time and talents to something you’re passionate about. The impact of your gift of service on the lives of others cannot be measured; in fact, it can make all the diff erence to someone in need. Doing good—whether at work, in our homes, or the community—is all about enriching lives (including our own). Discussion ideas for managers, leaders, and teams: 1. What causes or charities are close to your heart? Do any of your coworkers share them as well? Are there ideas or projects your team/department could do to serve these causes together this year or as part of the Day of Service next year? 2. If money and time were not obstacles, where would you give and who would you help?
