The final step counts have been returned from our auditors, Ernst & Young. The results have been hermetically sealed in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall’s back porch since noon today. And the step-a-thon winner is the GREEN TEAM. Congratulations on a job well done. The prize for those who participated on the GREEN TEAM will be distributed by Sebally.
[metaslider id=582] The Blue Team’s Walk-a-thon had a great turnout from all the teams. Additional photos can be seen in the Shared Drive: Value Team folder/Blue Team event. Please make sure you provide your weekly steps number to Larry Rowe by this Friday at Noon for the team pedometer calculations. Winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
I hope you all enjoyed The True Blue team’s event. I’ve gotten much positive feedback from all of you and we all appreciate you all taking the time out to participate and make this event awesome! Unfortunately we were not able to get the satellite offices involved as much as we would have liked but don’t fret! We are sending you all at the outer offices care packages and are welcome to join in our coming weeklong event!
As Larry has mentioned prior the blue team is launching a weeklong event in order to raise health awareness.
You are encouraged to wear or install (on your smartphone) a pedometer and monitor your steps for this week.
Wear your chosen device as you travel/work/exercise and by the end of next week on Friday 8/29/14 please submit all your individual numbers to Larry Rowe. The numbers will be tallied up and the participating team members with the most steps will win a – to be announced prize! So get out there and get stepping!
