Well, we survived another Tradex season !!! Everyone should be very proud of themselves. You didn’t have to be a regular Tradex staffer to know that the season was a busy one. Some information for all the usual Tradexians (hey, is that even a word??) there are a few small events in December, then it is quiet. However, as of January 20th, 2006, Medallion Event Specialists is booked every week up to June 2006 !!!!!! So for those of you who are looking for part time and full time employment - WE GOT IT !!

In January, we will be hiring for every department, Security, First Aid, Housekeeping, Cashiers, and of course Parkers. We will be searching for more Team Leaders for each department as well. If you know anyone that will be looking for work, tell them about us.

Remember Medallion is NOT having a staff appreciation open house this year. We have the Food Donation Box ready and the tickets to win a Limo Ride are printed and waiting to be won. Just think, Christmas Lights by Limo, does life get any better???

Happy Birthday to:
Surinder Toor

If you are interested, we are offering a $50.00 bonus for any one that provides a qualified lead for commercial exhibitors, sell 10 and that is $500.00.

Congrats everyone - great job!! We got many compliments on how we did this weekend, keep up the great work.

Melanie Says:
I thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone. Believe it or not I enjoy working the Dog Show. It is an opportunity to work with all Team Members and release some of my aggravation when dealing with people who have White Dogs and its raining. As anyone could tell who was near the North Doors as I was there. Parkers – excellent job!!!! All new staff should be extremely proud of the job you did.

Graham Says:
I’m speechless; the Dog Show took it all out of me!!!
