Western Union Bulletin Board

Make sure you are reading these messages when you turn on your Western Union computer. They will appear on your home screen below the login. I was in the Okolona office today when I noticed it. I called two other offices and theirs were different. I have posted the one from Okolona below: Western Union is excited to announce HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!! Every Wednesday between August 26 and October 14, 2009. Consumers can get 50% off their money transfer and quick collect transfer fees!!! Consumer must say or show the promo code "HAPPY". This is a great way to promote GOOD customer service. If you have a customer come in on Wednesday make sure you offer this to them, because you are saving them almost $6.50. Please start paying close attention to these messages and let the other offices or your Area Manager know so we can blog about them. Thanks Kim & Janna

Keep Your Goal In Sight

On a foggy morning in July 1952, Florence Chadwick waded into the chilly waters off of Catalina Island. Her goal? To swim the channel to the California coast. The water was numbing cold that day. The fog was so thick she could barely see the boats that were accompanying her. Several times, a rifle was fired to scare away sharks that approached her. She swam more than fifteen hours before she asked to be taken out of the water. Her trainer tried to encourage her to swim on since they were so close to land. Florence was not a stranger to long-distance swimming. She was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. But that day, she was discouraged. When she looked ahead all she saw was fog. Florence gave up only one-half mile from her goal! Later, she said, "I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen the land, I might have made it." It wasn't the cold water, exhaustion, or fear that caused Florence to fail that day. It was the fog. Two months later Florence Chadwick swam the Catalina channel and set a new speed record. Keep you goals in sight today and press on. You may be much closer to fulfilling them than you realize! Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend, Shanda

Beware of Cat...

Macon Motors has a guard cat not a dog. The cats name seems to be "Toyota".

I have not asked but I'm pretty sure that someone is feeding Toyota.

Tina Golden's son, Jacob, on his way back to school. He is in the 5th grade. They grow up way too fast!!

Tina's son, Eli, was petrified and a little mad that he had to go back to school. He began 1st grade this year. This is a good picture of these two little school boys.

Janna Tolar's daughter, Jayla, started second grade this year. She was excited!!

Have a great weekend!!

Employee Pictures

This is Bethany Elrod's little angel, Annabelle. She is 8 months old and is at the age where curiosity is beginning to take over. She loves to learn and see new things.

Michelle Storey's son, John Avery, is now 16 months. It's hard to believe that he has gotten this big so soon. He looks like a little man is this picture. He has a laid back personality and his laugh would make anyone smile.

This beautiful little girl is the daughter of our new assistant manager, Tracy Floyd, in Saltillo. Bell is 4 years old and this is her first real hook. I must say that I think she got a great catch for her first fish. Holding Bell is Tracy's husband, Jimmy.
