Next Payday will be at the
ABBOTSFORD AGRIFAIR
“CORN TO BE WILD”

the best little country fair around!!
As most of you know, Medallion is heavily involved in the AgriFair. Not only do we provide Security, we supply all the Parking attendants, Ticket Takers and Cashiers!! We also donate the First Aid hours. This year we are also supplying General Labour Crews. For those of you who are still having nightmares from the Cloverdale Rodeo, don’t worry the key to the Abbotsford AgriFair is the best little country fair. It does not compare to the Rodeo at all. Apples and Oranges people – no worries!!!

Anyway, back to Payday on July the 29th. Cheques will only be issued at the “Twisters Gate”. You must have your Security ID to enter Lot 3, which is off McLure Road, to avoid being charged a Parking fee. No ID = $4.00 and NO I will not reimburse you!!!!! Cheques will be ready from 2 pm to 4pm on Friday only. Any cheques not picked up FRIDAY will be at the office on Wednesday, August 3rd. For those of you working the best little country fair, obviously your paycheque will be on site. OFFICE CLOSED JULY 28 – AUGUST 3.

LISTEN UP any time cards not received in the office on MONDAY’s will not be processed. Melanie has to have payroll coded by Monday July 25 at 4pm in order to have the cheques ready for Friday July 29th. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS !!!!

LISTEN UP NO NEWS LETTER next week. Be sure to read this one there is much information to be noted!!

Thoughts & Prayer go out to Guy Fried & Rose Dykstra during their family hardships.

Can you find our acronym ???

LISTEN UP regarding payday on August 12, any time cards not received in the office by SUNDAY August 7th at NOON will not be processed.

Special Bulletin:
Security Team Members, remember that when you are using our Medallion Security Signs in your vehicles do not park illegally. We had a phone call for some one to move there car!!! It was a little embarrassing!

"2005 Darwin Award Winners are
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone=20 waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

BERRY FESTIVAL NEXT WEEK – some parkers to be called in.
