Today, as part of Spirit Week, our WOW committee held a mini carnival out in front of our main building. We had a real cotton candy machine, a live fortune teller, a dunk tank filled with "cool, cool water," a “pick some plastic eggs with Zollars inside” wagon , an “honor” jail and even some Hula Dancers as the closing event. All the money collected, $1172, is going to the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Here’s a picture of Galen, our Director of Casual Lifestyle and Performance in the duct tape “honor” jail. Even though he just finished a shift on/in the dunk tank, Galen is, as always, appropriately attired. It cracks me up that he is smoking – in direct disregard of the “No Smoking” sign. In his defense, I guess he can’t see the sign. (I'm pretty sure he can read!)



The WOW committee is part of the Customer Loyalty Team department and they put on a regular series of events to both recognize and create “WOW” in the entire company. Their energy, enthusiasm, organization and execution are very impressive.

Today is Sports Jersey Day for Spirit week. We had the full spectrum – football (including Powder Puff!), baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, NASCAR, and even fishing! Check out how Janelle blocks John D. out of the picture with her patented overhead stretch. Oh well, John D. was wearing a drinking team shirt. (high 5 my man)

It's dangerous for me to pick favorites but Peter's ump outfit with chest pad and shin guards gets my vote. Our Scheduling group lined up a bunch of people for the photo in record time. (Thanks Kay!)

Big doings tomorrow for Spirit week, complete with water feature!

Our Customer Loyalty Team is holding Spirit Week starting today. Monday is Pajama Day so there was a lot of flannel, some spandex and a bit of lace in the building. PJ Day is just laidback, casual comfortable fun. And it gives you a chance to share your funny slipper collection with others. Ah, after all our Core Value #3 is “Create Fun and A Little Weirdness.”

Also one of the CLT managers had a birthday today so someone whipped up a bunch of “face signs” - basically you print out pictures of that person’s face and attach them to wooden tongue depressors. This picture has both a PJ assortment and a nice array of face signs. Happy Birthday Rob!


Tomorrow is Sports Day so I’ll be on the prowl for a nice multi-team picture.
