Saluting Administrative Professionals!

Congratulations to Annie Arseanault with the Foundation George Dumont and Charlene, personnel manager at the Plaza Blvd Wal-mart as the winners of our spring bouquets from McAurther's Flower Shop as part of the Big Breakfast salute to Administrative Professionals. After reading all the entries, we wished we'd had more flowers to give out! Here is a sample of some of the entries we recieved....

Our receptionist, Jennifer Hart, has the qualities to juggle her own family and then come to work and manage 8 other lives. Her job at this time of year (tax season) is anything but easy. She must deal with her tired and exasperated co-workers/boss who sometime forget she has her own problems and/or life to deal with. However, when our clients arrive at her desk, she always has a smile and time to listen to their problems, update on their family since last tax season or comfort someone who has lost a family member since last year. The gang here at our office gets wrapped up in our own lives and sometimes forget how valuable she is to our office. So we would be pleased to see Jen be recognized. Grace Armstrong, Allan Eisner, CGA Prof Corp in Sussex.

Thanks to all the administrative professionals out there, we really do appreciate all that you do each day and wouldn't be able to do our jobs without you!

Doc Walker in Studio!!!

Doc Walker in Studio!

After several days of being stuck in Quebec eating poutine due to the April snowstorms that battered most of the US and parts of Ontario and la belle province, the boys from Doc Walker finally were able to make it to Moncton, just in time for their show at the Rockin' Rodeo on April 18th. We were grateful after all they'd just been through that they took time out of their morning to drop by the studio and hang out with Terry and me. After discussions about poutine (the Acadian kind) and the process of making their latest album, they promised a great show and went off in search of some much needed sleep and a good seafood restaurant for lunch.

Walking for Doc Walker Tickets

And the winner is.....

It was a cold, windy morning in the parking lot at the Rockin' Rodeo on April 18th, but that didn't deter Joe, Karen, Joyce and Art from joining Jen at 7:30am in their best track outfits to Walk for Doc Walker tickets. Each person had a pedometer, thanks to Maritime Sports, and walked around the parking lot for a half hour straight. The person with the most steps would be on the exclusive XL 96 guest list to get into the show that night for free, along with a guest. The winner, with 4010 steps, was Art Jones. Art attributes his win to strength, desire, and small steps. Congrats Art, and thanks to Joyce, Joe and Karen, who got lunch at MacDonald's on us for being great sports.

It was an EGGcellent Time!

The XL96.9 Big Breakfast Easter Egg Hunt for Beat The Box Office Tickets was a lot of fun. Thank you to Carole Killam, Carole Colpitts, Crystal Bulmer and Mary Lynn Wilson for participating in our giveaway of Country Rocks The Hill '07 starring Tim & Faith. The ladies all frantically ravaged the plastic eggs until Mary Lynn successfully opened the one containing the Golden Ticket. Thank you ladies for helping to make our Morning. Our three runner-ups each recieved a complimentary XL96 Coffee Mug as a consolation prize.
