If you ask sales engineer Shane Reisner, he’ll tell you that Memorial Day weekend is the official kick-off to the boating season. A few weeks back in Chicago, LaSalle Bank’s “Shamrock Shuffle” was the official kick off to the running seasons. I’m not sure when the golf kick off is, but the last two courses I played didn’t even have a food/beverage cart out and about so I hope that event hasn’t taken place yet. Well, in the spirit of these kickoffs, the Chicago office had its own kickoff to the summer last Friday night.
Yeah we’re a bit early, but it’s been such a frustratingly long and cold winter, that we had to jump at the first few days of 60-80 degree temps and dive right in!
Our staff works their tail end off on a daily basis and last Friday had a chance to let loose in the confines of our own office while the Cedar Falls group was kind enough to cover for us. Of course I waited until the last minute to ask a friend to bartend only to discover that both he and his girlfriend were scheduled at their real bar tending jobs that night. No problem; I took a couple refresher courses, stepped behind the bar myself, and went to town. Our original 7:30 finish time ended up coming closer to 10ish, but a great time and plenty of socialization was had by all!
