Grunau Celebrates Employees

Grunau Celebrates Employees

Grunau Company celebrates long-term employees at our annual summer family picnic.  This year the event took place on a sunny Saturday in late July at the Milwaukee County Zoo.  With over 160 employees bringing their family members, there were  nearly 590 people in our group.

Decorations and activities centered around our picnic theme of “The North Woods”.  We even had a bear screen-printed on the bright blue t-shirts we gave to each picnic attendee this year.  The Zoo is a great picnic venue since people can enjoy food, special activities, and mingling with coworkers in the designated picnic area, then roam with family and friends around the zoo after they eat and watch the awards presentation.

2017 saw 52 employees receive service awards; while not everyone was able to attend the picnic, their names were still announced and recognized during the awards presentation.  Grunau’s President, Bill Ball, announced the employees and shook each of their hands as he presented their award to them amongst lots of smiles.
