Memorial Day at Autogeek plus an Operation Comfort Update

**Dwayne** · 05-31-2010, 01:23 PM

Thank you to everyone entered our daily raffles in support of Operation Comfort.Over the course of 3 days, with your help we have over $3,000.00 to send to Operation Comfort's AutoMotivation program and by the end of the day, we will surpass $4,000.00!!! It's not too late to contribute and enter today's Memorial Day Raffle.

I just learned that Mike Phillips is donating the proceeds from his weekend complete detail and paint correction in the Show Car Garage of a 1993 Porsche 964 Turbo in the amount of $500.00!!!

We just want to thank everyone that participated in our SUPER VIP Memorial Day Weekend Daily Deals too.

We are here working hard today to ensure that orders are ready to when UPS, Fedex and USPS resume pickups on Tuesday. I think there were about 10 pallets wrapped up so far.

We did have a little extra motivation to work today. Max headed up our annual Memorial Day Bar B Q and we all had a feast in the Show Car Garage! Today it was the Show Car Cafe!

We work, he feeds us. I have to say that Max is a great chef!

Mary helped out on the grill too.

Let's turn our attention to the meaning of Memorial Day. We are able to enjoy all of our freedom because of those that fought and died for our country while serving in the military. On this day we honor the sacrifice of these men and women and show thanks and appreciation for their honorable service.

Lots of fun today even though we are working, I even took the Segway for a spin, of course after Max left!
Thank you to all of our employees that helped us out today, we have now up to 12 pallets of orders for UPS to get tomorrow. By the time they get to us we will be needing two semi trailers!

In respects to Memorial Day we did have something very special going on close to our warehouse.
Steel beam from World Trade Center was in Stuart and moved to Palm Beach today. Very moving sight to see.

I would like to thank all of the Men & Women serving in the Military. I would like to thank all of the Autogeek customers that have contributed to the Operation Comfort AutoMotivation Program. I would like to thank all of the staff here at PBMA for all of the hard work they have done on this holiday weekend. I would like to thank Chef Max for cooking on the BBQ today.

I hope everybody has a fun & safe Memorial Day.

I'm really glad to see the amount of donations we've received for this program thus far. And kudos to Mike for donating that much to a great cause - that's a lot of cheese, but freedom is priceless. Thanks to all who donated, and all of our active and retired service men & women who have helped keep our country safe and protect our rights. Have a great Memorial Day!.

I spent the better part of 3 years down at the WTC. First on Rescue and Recovery then on the Re-Build.
Personally, I'd like to thank all of the men and women in uniform, military, police and fire who CHOOSE to serve our Country, States and Cities.
It's what keeps America FREE

Awesome. Thanks for the hard work and pictures. AG looks like a great place to work. One of those boxes should have my name on it too. I hope you told the UPS folks to bring backup when they come in on Tuesday.

Thanks for the support to Operation Comfort and keeping all past and present military in your thoughts.

I very happy to be a part of Operation Comfort and hope to be able to do some more detailing projects to help support this cause.

This is sort of off topic, but do you guys over at AGO ever polish your forklifts? Everyday at work I want to just bring my 7424 and polish the forklifts because they are so nasty!

**CEE DOG** · 05-31-2010, 04:27 PM

Thank you to all who serve in our military for your sacrifices and impossibly difficult work to make my life as wonderfull as it is.

Also thank you to AG for supporting the troops and veterans.
