The L.E.O.
The Alder Companies were a Silver Sponsor of the Life Empowerment Open, held on June 28, 2010. The Lifelong Empowerment Open (or L.E.O., for short) began in 2007, and has quickly grown to one of Walworth County's largest fundraising events. Hosting on average nearly 400 golfers and over 500 for the dinner and auction, the L.E.O. helps raise much-needed funds for several Walworth County organizations that help the disabled. In 2007 and 2008, the proceeds went to SMILES, VIP Services and Lakeland School. Inspiration Ministries joined them as a co-beneficiary in 2009 and 2010.
Several Alder Companies employees played golf and 12 employees were present for the L.E.O. auction and dinner. In 2010, the Life Empowerment Open raised more than $200,000, a 55% increase from 2009! The following are some pictures of Alder Companies employees participating in the L.E.O. event.
Delavan Holiday Party
This Alder Companies tradition of Safe Driver Awards dates back 53 years, when the first awards were a subscription to National Geographic magazine. Today, these awards are given to honor each driver who completes a year of “incident free” deliveries and driving. The annual award is $100 with incremental awards of $250 given in addition for each five year milestone. We have also developed team awards to recognize a group of drivers when all eligible receive their one year safety status. The MGA team of drivers have achieved this group achievement for 2009.
This year, as a company, we honor 77 drivers, In addition, tonight we recognize seven drivers achieving milestone awards. John Horgan and Joe Kersten have reached the hallmark of fifteen years, noted with an award of $750. Jim Jarosz, Andres Miranda and John Musch are awarded $500 for incident free travels over the past ten years., and John Anderson and Gary Noe receive five year awards of $250. Congratulations on your professionalism and commitment to safety!

It's a zoo around here!
What happens when you mix 81 Alder Companies’ employees, 68 adult family members, 117 kids, (including 20 babies!), perfect weather, great food and over 2500 zoo animals on a beautiful Sunday in September? You have the perfect scenario for the Fall family picnic held at the Milwaukee County Zoo on Sunday, September 13th, 2009!
Many families arrived as the zoo opened at 9:00am and spent the day traveling the 200 acres, viewing the animals and enjoying time together. Considered one of the top zoos in the country, there were favorite animals and exhibits for everyone’s interests.
The group gathered at the Zoo Terrace for lunch at mid-day. Provided by Saz’s catering, the food included traditional picnic fare as well as delicious cookies and brownies for dessert. Sporting their new, blue “It’s a Zoo around here” t-shirts, all the Alder Employees gathered first for a big group picture. The group was then split by dispatch locations and all the family members joined for four additional pictures. Even though the sun was very bright, there were a lot of smiles and friendly chatter as the pictures were taken.
After lunch and pictures, many families headed back to continue the day exploring the zoo. A number of families included 3 or 4 generations and everyone seemed to enjoy the day. To see more pictures of the family picnic at the zoo click here.
Plans are already being made for Zoo Day 2011!
