Well, by now, we have been at the Cloverdale Rodeo since Thursday and we probably are already tired!!!
Special Thanks goes out to Susan who has taken care of the massive General Labour schedule for Cloverdale.
Special Thanks goes out to all who worked their butts and protected their heads during the last Tradex event. Who knew how dangerous Volleyball really was??!! Joyce – don’t you be trying to sell those pictures of Melanie as blackmail for all Team Members!! By the way, the Organizers of the Volleyball Championship emailed Vali and stated, “That all staff who worked at Tradex where awesome, from the kitchen staff, to the cleaners and the Security!!” Once again, as a Team we worked fabulous!!!!
Now for some sad news; Serene has left Medallion. Serene was an awesome Team Leader and will be missed a great deal. It is always difficult when a Member of the Family leaves! We wish you well, Serene.
CONGRATULATIONS PHOEBE: she is the first of our “Las Vegas, Baby,” Game winners. Phoebe will get first pick from the tacky souvenirs. Are you ready for the next game?? See the back side of this newsletter. This game is open to all Team Members, the prizes are rated “T” (for tacky)
TRADEX TEAM MEMBERS: If you have any names tags and earpieces at home, please send them to the office ASAP. We need to return those Name tags to Tradex; they are pricey at $12.00 per tag!!
HOUSEKEEPERS: now that the Tradex season is quiet until September it is vital that your shirts are returned to the office. It is our quarterly inventory and replacement time!!! Please return ASAP, you would hate to have us phoning, and phoning, and phoning, and phoning, and phoning, and phoning, anyway you get the point.
To check out the Tradex upcoming events, you can log on to our Web site at www.medallionevents.com and link to Tradex. It is pretty quiet after the (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) Quilters Event. Team Members who are working the Quilters Event remember to bring LOTS of coffee!!
SECURITY: As you know Melanie is at Cloverdale and with limited amount of time during the Payroll processing week the schedules have not changed from what you received last pay. ANY and ALL changes were done VERBALLY and may not reflect in the schedule!!!! If you have very important questions call Melanie, but if it can wait until Tuesday May 23, call then. There will be more updates with regards to the SEA BIRD ISLAND schedule and staff will be notified of these by phone.
TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHEIVES MORE
On your mark
Get set
GO !!!
And we are off – ready or not it’s time for Cloverdale !!!!! Are you scared? Do you fully understand what this means?? I think NOT!!! It means that Team Medallion is about to start a whole new race. In a nut shell – the office will be EXTREMEMLY busy – if you need to discuss something with Melanie please make sure that it is only of an urgent matter. If it can wait, wait. Cloverdale requires approximately 100 staff members from Medallion alone. Management lives on site, the office will be closed from May 17 -22. And just to throw a wrench in – Melanie’s son is Graduating Grade 12 so she will be on very limited hours May 23-26.
Now what you really want to know is, “What about our paycheques??!!” Yes, payday lands on Cloverdale Friday May 19, so cheques will be available at Regency as of Thursday evening, May 18. Remember Regency is open from 2100-0600. Any cheques not picked up by the evening of Monday May 22, will be mailed. This payday has 4 weeks of schedules attached; there will be very minor adjustments. Let me rephrase, if you don’t work what is scheduled during Cloverdale you will receive a very nasty letter with regards to your employment.
If you know anyone who wants some extra cash, we are still looking for staff; there are carpools and a shuttle service so a vehicle is not a necessity.
And now for some fun stuff – the back of this news letter has the beginning of “Las Vegas, Baby” Remember about the tacky tourist souvenirs Melanie brought back? Well they are waiting to be won. So, figure out the pictogram puzzles and let me know your answers. The first three correct submissions will win a prize. Don’t worry there are lots of prizes to be won which means more games to come. Ha how poetic is that?? fax,email,drop off – don’t phone!!!!
