Procuring Presidents Event Proclaims Fun
By: Tim Moubray, Director, Orange County Parks & Recreation
The February County Cup is in the books. Many Presidents were procured as our staff scrambled to grab the most play money and be inaugurated as our winner. In the end, Kenneth Yount, from the Ops Team, was the biggest procurer. He perfected the “ kick and grab ” technique, and came out of the machine with 1108 “ dollars ”. Emily Welch, Team Extension, was 2nd with 731, and Alyson Simpson, Team Admin/HR, was 3rd with 711. In the overall rankings, Team Admin/HR holds on to the lead with 31, while Ops Team jumps up to 2nd with 19, followed by Emergency Communication with 13.
Highlights of the event include, but are not limited to ….
• Our illustrious leader, Ted Voorhees (Team Admin/HR), performing his stretching ritual only to false start in his first attempt.
• Our newly elected Sheriff, Jason Smith, exiting the money machines with bills stuck all over him in his gun belt, holster, collar, and tie.
Next month ’ s contest will need no secrets or hints. It ’ s the return of March Madness and the brackets. Everyone can play. So start watching the games to get some info. Or just pick your favorite mascot or uniform color. Whatever your method might be, just fill out a bracket and see how it does. Brackets will be announced on Sunday, March 17, and we ’ ll send them out or drop them off on Monday, March 18. Brackets need to be turned in before noon on Thursday, March 21. If you ’ re needing any tips ….. Go Heels!!!!!!!! The County Cup is an important part of our organization ’ s Cultural Initiative, which seeks to make Orange County an employer of choice, able to recruit and retain skilled employees. Look like fun?
