Today being Friday, January the 25th, 2008, was the date of our annual company meeting. At this meeting, our president, Dennis Brown, recognized new employees (of which one of those was myself). But he also took time to recognize a few other employees. There were four employees who had been congratulated for five years of being with Flags Unlimited. There were two employees who have been with us for ten years. And then lastly Ann Marie Crackle was praised for her 25 years of being a part of the team here at Flags Unlimited. Ann Marie has been through many phases with the company. She has been a magnificent part of the company's continued success. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, and I tell you - she knows her stuff.
You don't really see people working at one company for that long these days. I was told when I was in college that I might have 7-10 different careers and perhaps even more as the world continues to change. All the more reason why Ann Marie's accomplishment is so special.
We'd all like to thank Ann Marie for her leadership and friendship and hope she stays another 25 years! Although - we hope she gets to retire and all that sort of thing too some day :)
