Waupaca Friday

TGIF everyone!  Today I drove to the Waupaca office for work and started to take a little stock about how I can make the office my own.  As you can tell in the picture....it is in desperate need of a woman's touch!

I think a few nice wall hangings, a lamp and some  potpourri ought to do the trick!  :)

While I was browsing through the store today my place of work is located inside of Goodwill) I thought it would be fun to catch a photo of a couple of the Goodwill employees and ask them why they like to work at Goodwill.  Here is what Abigail and Vincent had to say...


Abigail:  "I really love that Goodwill is an organization that helps people with barriers to employment find a good job.  I also like the cool clothes you can find so inexpensively priced.  It is fun to see Good Looks on the Goodwill website for fashion ideas."

Vincent:  I am glad I was given the opportunity to work for Goodwill.  This is my first job.  I appreciate the flexible hours and I have made some really good friends here!"

So there you have it.  The Waupaca Goodwill store is full of wonderful merchandise at bargain prices.  I myself picked up a very nice pair of sunglasses for only $3.99. Stop in today and say "Hi" to Abigail and Vincent!

I am very excited about the transition to the Waupaca office.  The future's wide open - nothing's written in stone...

Finding A Name

So I thought I would create a blog to help me along with some networking I would like to do in Waupaca, WI.  I have been trying to think of a catchy title for days now....but nothing comes to mind.  I figure The Waupaca Blog is just as good a name as any.  (and easier to remember)

My name is Dana and am about to embark on a new position in my job which is located in Waupaca.

One of my goals I have for this new endeavor is to network with the area businesses.  I thought it might be fun to visit a business or two each week and blog about the services or products they offer.  In exchange, I can share what I do at at my job in an attempt to better familiarize myself with the community.
