Big announcement coming later this week. Think end of year office party....

Stay tuned to The Movement Blog for a HUGE announcement about our end of the year party.  For now, post those Patriot Points and review the previous blog update highlighting the winners of FitBit March Madness.

It was...... #stEPIC

POST PATRIOT POINTS FOR THE WEEKS OF MARCH 21 and MARCH 28.

March Madness Winners Announced

Three brackets, 86 participants, thousands of steps.  So many incredible stories of people literally "going the extra mile".  Personal Records (PR's) and achievements that no one thought possible.  Friendships and frenemies.  Employees who were beaten in earlier rounds coming back to step with employees still trying to advance in the bracket.  Employees walking together all over Homewoood,  schools opening up until midnight, employees checking in at Gold's Gyms, Planet Fitness, 24 hour gyms and even stepping at Lowe's to try to get those steps in.  It is hard to explain in words, but if you were part of the FitBit March Madness Step Challenge, you get it.  It was #stEPIC.

We will announce the time, date and location of our Meet and Greet to allow employees to get to know the amazing group of people who were part of this journey.  I truly hope you will make an effort to be there.  Door prizes will be given away and we will award the championship trophies and special gifts.
