Announcing The 2024 annual Crown Alumni picnic
The 2024 Crown International employee Alumni Picnic is now over. It may have been a good idea to move dates as last year’s was held in May and it was cold. Not to mention the noise from the WW2 Warbird air show 1 mile away. However we did not consider graduation parties and weddings in June. Attendance was the same as last year at approximately 60 at both events.
It was sure good to see everybody but when I got home and summarize the attendee’s list it makes me sad because there were people I did not get a chance to get with, just a hello and move on. Next time will be different. I sure hope you guys had better luck mingling with the folks than I did….
I may propose moving back to August. That was a good month but Oxbow had a lot more bees, bugs, and musketeers. I think Cobus Creek will be the answer to that. Probably go to early August to miss the start of schools. More on that later.
Also pondering a schedule change. We may want to change back to having them every 2 or 3 years. I think more people will come if we go longer than a year. More on that later. If you have any thoughts on scheduling drop me a line.
Financially we are in good shape thanks in part to the $250 corporate donation from LEA. That allowed us to buy Popeye’s chicken.
Someone special came from Minnesota this year for the first time. A good friend. I have been working on him and he finally made the trip. Mr Mick and Babe’s Whelan. Mick worked in sales and helped market the infamous CE family, the one with the controversial grill. He is also responsible for the “Sabra and the Scream” comic book, a promotional item introducing the CE. Thanks for coming Mick! Really good to see you. I wish you the best.
And thanks to all the alumni for coming. Food was great, as always. Watch the web page for updates.
