YOU OUGHTA KNOW!

EMPLOYEE SUMMER PICNIC

You’re invited to the Block 15 and Caves’ Company Picnic! We want to thank you and your families for being a part of the Block 15 family and helping to make our dream a reality every day.

As in past years, this summer celebration is a family friendly event. BBQ dinner, drinks, and good company provided.

Date: Monday, August 19th

Location: Avery Park Lions Shelter

Time: 4-8pm. Dinner will be served at 6pm.

Please RSVP here no later than July 31st!

*All company restaurants will be closed Monday, and will reopen for normal hours on Tuesday, August 20th.

FALL IPA MERCH PRE-ORDER

It’s time to pre-order Flicker IPA (our Fall quarterly IPA) merchandise (remember that all seasonal apparel needs to be pre-ordered so Beth can submit an accurate order)! We’ll be offering a dope hoodie this year, in two colors (navy and sky blue). These are zip-up hoodies and they have the woven patch with our logo on the front (just like the grey diver hoodie). When the time comes to pay for them (at the time of pick-up), they’ll set you back $40.

All pre-order’s have to be submitted by next Thursday, July 25th by 5pm, and if you don’t pre-order you will not be able to purchase a hoodie once they’re in house. So don’t miss out!

The pre-order form can be found HERE.

PUB UPDATES

READ & SIGNING

Signing off on R&S has looked abysmal the past two weeks. It will be a write-up if folks miss signing the Read & Sign (unless they are out of town or sick the entire week). Having employees sign the Read & Sign ensures that they have actually read and retained the information management wants them to receive!
