Start your engines

Monday, McGraw-Hill in Dubuque was honored to kick of the Midwest regions district meetings and we were asked to join in on the festivities. We do help out the sales people a lot, hence our department name - Sales Support. So since we are up on the 2nd floor now we also got to participate in the Grand Prix. They were going to have remote control cars racing each other but the 2 cars that were here broke so the race never did happen.

Here are a few pics of the night.

The Sales Support Gang, these are girls that report to me.  They are the best!
From left to right starting from the back - Robin, Jennifer, Cyndi, Me, Jenni, Karen. Second row - Julie and Alice, and sitting down with the helmet is Deona, she was to be our driver.

Showing off our shirts, our team name was Deona and the Roadrunner! and on the back was a road runner with the words Beep! Beep!

Here we are all again with Lisa, she's next to me on the left. This was my boss, she just moved to a new position.

Julie patiently waiting to figure out where were going since there was not going to be a race.

After we got the go ahead to head over to dinner which was at the Mississippi River Museum we all stopped at Mojo's inside the Diamond Jo Casino. When I say all, there was about 150 of us! 

Here is Jenni, Julie, Deona and Karen posing for the camera at Mojo's.

This is my new boss - Kent Peterson - he is super cool and has lots in store for us.

The hallway down from our offices everything, meaning the whole 2nd floor, was decorated!


This was the start of our dept.
 


This was a roadrunner where we had a fan blowing on it and the feet were going in circles. It was so cute!

The dinner at the Riverboat Museum was delicious! Kent gave a wonderful speech then I went home to my baby! I sure missed him!
