Welcome to The Muncie Minute! I hope everyone had a great week! I would like to welcome all new employees to Muncie. We are all very glad to have you here! I want to take a minute and congratulate and say THANK YOU to SchruteFarm1 for taking on the position of Chairman of the Finer Things Club! Schrute has been a very active member in the FTC and I know he will do a fantastic job leading this club! Congratulations Our Employee of the Week, this week, is SchruteFarm1! Way to go! This is the second time he has been named EOTW. Please remember to stop by the ETOW thread and cast your vote beginning on Tuesday for this week’s nominees! Congratulations to Stanley_the_Manley55 and SchruteFarm1 for being promoted to Corporal in our incentive program “Rise Through the Ranks”. Congrats also to Arielemc for achieving the rank of Private 1st class and to rhondagod and anikitty for being named promoted to Privates this week! I, lemonlime79, was promoted to Specialist. Great work everyone! Keep up the fabulous work!

Tasks This week’s task is called Sales Script. You are to fill in the blanks just like a mad lib. Corporate is actually requesting that you use “creativity and a sense of humor” in completing this week’s task. It looks like a lot of fun and is sure to be a fantastic read next week in the voting! We have until Thursday, November 13 at noon ET to get in our submissions. Voting for the Ethics Video task began on Friday, November 07. The videos look great. Thank you for your hard work on this task! Voting for the Mixed Tape task is now underway also. Please be sure to check out everyone’s entries and cast your vote. People got very creative with this task and it shows how much we really pay attention to the employees in Scranton. Voting on this task lasts until Thursday, November 13 at noon ET.  

What’s Going On? It looks like we have decided that everyone would love to meet in real life. We have begun planning a real life get together in Muncie at the Chili’s, of course, on McGalliard. Why Chili’s? Well, as you all know, it is the new golf course. We have are looking at having this shindig in April or May of 2009. We are thinking about ordering shirts with the branch logo to wear. We may also hand out the Dundies here too. If you have any ideas, stop by the Real Life Muncie Meet N Greet thread. We will post further information there and of course, you can find our all about it here in The Muncie Minute! We have a new mini-task this week and it is off to a great start. We have come up with a tag line and mascot, now all we need is graphics to go with it. Head on over to the Branch Promotion Ideas thread to offer your services! Sorry this was late this week. I have been pretty sick since Sunday night, so I guess you stay away from my desk until the end of the week. It should be safe by then. I promise wash my hands lots and use sanitizer. Head on over to the Branch Recruitment thread and post lots! It helps to keep DMI- Muncie at the top of that thread. Have a great week and earn those SB’s!
