The Contest
I have a quick announcement for you. I’ve wanted to find a way to thank all of you for your hard work and to show you how much we appreciate each of you. I’ve decided to hold a unique contest to find a group who impresses me the most with their creativity and team skills. I also have a really great TOP SECRET PRIZE picked out for the winning team as my way of expressing thanks.
I’m calling it “The Contest”, it’s scheduled for Friday, May 31st, and you will soon receive more information regarding the team to which you are assigned. The best team will be the one that is the most creative, most daring, and most enthusiastic….so bring your game faces!
To start us off, I’ll give you a puzzle: O.T.A.H.A.S.L.A.L.T.B.G.F!W.W! Tell me what that stands for and I’ll be impressed. Email me your guesses.
That’s all the information I can give you at this time. I’ve wanted to hold this contest for a long time, and the time is finally right. I hope everyone has fun!
Thanks,
Dave (and Morgan:)

All Star Staff Recognition- Trimester 3
Erica Born
Family:
I am the middle child with an older sister and younger sister. My older sister is a fourth grade teacher in the Quad Cities. My younger sister is a project manager for State Farm in Bloomington/Normal, IL. My parents live nearby in Elburn, IL. I live in "Iowa" (j/k... not really) rather in the beautiful cornfields of Oswego with my husband Bob and our son Brody. We have two crazy dogs, a brown dog named Roscoe and a miniature goldendoodle named Libby Lou.
I took time away, I turned the computer, the email, everything off at least for a few weeks. It was so nice to just be, be truly present with family and friends.
I have played the piano since I was 6 years old, although I'm a little rusty now...
