An Event to Remember....
Sure, we're a Top 30 Design
Firm and we work hard to get there. That said, we also have a fun
side. As you may have read in last month's post, October was our "Fall Fun
Month." It was chock full of activities designed to bring employees together for
a time of fun, fellowship, and good food. Our talented team works hard to bring
world-class solutions to our clients' toughest challenges, and a bit of
levity helps to maintain the balance that keeps us at our very best. We are
committed to being an Employer of Choice and this is just
one way that we work at it every day.
Here's the story in pictures:
This week, Linda Gray (VP of Business Development) and Rich Collins (VP of Transmission & Distribution) are in Columbus, Ohio, for the Electrical Transmission and Substation Structures Conference. Attendees are invited to stop by Booth 3 to register to win a hot new Kindle Fire!
Here's the story in pictures:
Oktoberfest was a blast with festive music, freshly-grilled brats, homemade potato salad, soft pretzels with choice of toppings, and a keg of delicious ice-cold root beer. |
Data Management's Diane Wilkie,
won first place in the Oktoberfest homemade potato salad contest, securing the coveted "Golden Potato Award." |
Entries arrive in advance of
lunchtime voting in our 2012 Pumpkin Decorating/Carving Contest. |
No pumpkin decorating contest
would be complete without yummy pie with which to feed our employee-judges. |
Employees were invited to
participate and vote in a Halloween Hallway & Office/Cube Decorating Contest. Team Lower Level welcomed visitors downstairs with fun pictures of team members. |
Having previously inhabited the
lower level before relocation to the East Building, the Electrical Systems Department's presence could still be felt in the Haunted Forest. |
If visitors survived the other
creatures in the Haunted Forest, this fierce animatronic feline was just waiting to pounce on his next meal. |
The East Building's Haunted
Hallway completely transformed this Substation cube farm into a spooktacularly fun place for employees and kids alike with a haunted hay ride and treats. |
Of course, the whole experience
would not be complete without a good old fashioned scare from Substation's Pat Keene. |
Visitors to the Haunted Forest
for the annual Marketing Department Halloween Party enjoyed delicious and nutrious treats. |
Folks lined up waiting for the
party to start and the food to flow. |
Who knows who one might meet in
the Haunted Forest? Substation's Bob Uddin made it out just in the nick of time. |
Someone wasn't so fortunate.
She apparently flew straight into Purchasing's wall. This is a shot of the fresh crime scene. |
This week, Linda Gray (VP of Business Development) and Rich Collins (VP of Transmission & Distribution) are in Columbus, Ohio, for the Electrical Transmission and Substation Structures Conference. Attendees are invited to stop by Booth 3 to register to win a hot new Kindle Fire!
Tomorrow is
Election Day in the United States and lots of important races
and proposals will be decided around the country. No matter how you vote, it is
important that you participate in this great facet of our republic democracy.
Sunday, November 11th
is Veterans Day. This very special day celebrates the service
of all U.S. military veterans. We owe them a debt of gratitude we can never
fully repay.
