The Quest for Authentic Manhood

1.  The window department put on a great “Lunch and Learn” today. We had good attendance. Thanks for making that happen Barry!

2. I am excited about what Lee Hunt is finding out in the market!

3.  We need to recognize all the hard work the Counter Sales has done the past month especially when we were short handed. Thanks for leading George!

4.   Cabinets are gaining momentum even in this market! That is because they are providing value!

5.  I been reading a book called “Delivering Happiness”In there it talks about core values for a business. I thought about the core values at Yoder’s and 2 jumped out a me right away and they were:                                         o Teamwork                                         o Commitment to Excellence Commitment to Excellence can be defined in many ways. One of the definitions of Excellence at Yoder’s needs to be service with a “WOW”. That means going the extra mile. That means caring more than the norm! What I am so excited about is that our Team consists of a lot of Excellent people that care more than what people expect!

6.  Christine’s cousin (Lillian) is still in Haiti. If you remember they were in Haiti when the earthquake happened and their house collapsed. They were able to get out unscathed but over half the people were in the house were killed. Anyway they need help rebuilding. I hope to find out more details this week. If you are interested in going on a work crew to Haiti to help rebuild let me know. It will probably involve raising some money for the project. If you are interested let me know and I will let you know the details as I get them. We will be needing men and women to help.
