Golf Tournament for MHA

This is a golf tournament for MHA which is the Multi Family Housing Association. Every year they have a Golf Tournament at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake Minnesota. Instead of participating by sponsoring a hole like I have every year, Jeremy and I sponsored a cocktail cart and distributed beer to all the people on the course. Jeremy Beier is our New Construction Project Mgr. He oversees all the rebuilds for the company. The rest of the information should be what I originally sent you.

Our team members called it a rewarding experience, and they look forward to doing it again next year!

Minnetonka Fire Department Open House

Our SERVPRO team was invited by the Minnetonka Fire Department to have a table at their open house. It is one of the largest Fire Department open houses in the state.  There were free hotdogs, safety demonstrations and stations where kids could try out the fire hose.  At our table we had a great time speaking to residents about the need to have fire safety plans for their homes.  We also handed out water and gas shut of tags to make them more identifiable in the event of an emergency.  As an added bonus, franchise owner Scott had his 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter visit the booth.  As you can see, everyone liked the hotdogs.

Customer Appreciation Day ... and Burn Box Demo

SERVPRO of Minnetonka built the 2 burn boxes in the photo for the Hopkins Fire Department. They are reusable so it will save a lot of time and money when fire departments want to use them for demonstration purposes. One box is fitted with a sprinkler head and the other is not. They are both set on fire and you can see how quickly the fire spreads and how quickly the sprinkler knocks it down in the one box. We hosted Hopkins Fire Department, Minnetonka Fire Department, St. Paul Fire Department along with a number of our SERVPRO customers. We learned a lot and had a great time.
