A few times each year, we like to get our team together for a social event outside of work hours to have fun, build stronger relationships, and spend time being in each other’s company. Our Sales Director, Jared and his family, hosted us all for a pool party and cookout at their home. Such a great time to be out in the summer sun and splashing in the pool when it got a bit warm.
“Milwaukee Riverkeeper is a science-based advocacy organization in Milwaukee, Wisconsin working to protect, improve and advocate for water quality, riparian wildlife habitat, and sound land management in the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic River Watersheds. Volunteer programs are essential to restoring and connecting people to the waterways. Milwaukee Riverkeeper has several volunteer programs including the Spring River Cleanup, Water Quality Monitoring Program, and Adopt-A-River Program. Brilliance Business Solutions worked to clean up a section of the Hank Aaron State Trail behind the Mitchell Domes. 10 volunteers attended the event for four hours. The most common items found were food wrappers, plastic bags, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. Brilliance Business Solutions’ participation is vital not only to Milwaukee Riverkeeper but also to the residents in the Milwaukee River Basin as they filter garbage and debris from residents’ drinking water.” – Rose Alvarez, Cleanup & Event Coordinator, Milwaukee Riverkeeper
Waffles are great, any time anywhere. An easy way to celebrate National Waffle Day in an office (without a lot of space or ingredients) is to make them from a baking mix. A favorite mix is Baker Mills’ Kodiak Cakes. Truly a “just add water” situation. There were THREE waffle irons in use to quickly make enough waffles for the team to enjoy together for lunch.
Most of the country had solar eclipse fever in the weeks leading up to the big event in August. We were no different and had our solar glasses ready. Throughout the morning, we took short breaks to check out the eclipse from the street corner, offering to share our glasses and enthusiasm with strangers passing on the street.
