InterServ Donation

S1321_image

This time of year often brings to mind images of cozy families enjoying one another’s company around a home cooked meal. But for many, hunger is a cold reality that doesn’t take a break during the Holiday season.

The St. Joe team put together an awesome donation for InterServ in St. Joseph. InterServ is a group of volunteers, churches, and community organizations that:

…provides programs and services designed to lessen the impact of poverty on our community.

This donation was put together by the Ford Store, Kia & Mitsubishi, and St. Joe Honda. Great work team!

2013 Andy Award Trip

The 2013 Anderson Christmas Party was an awesome time. We had a couple of really significant “firsts”.

We rolled out Anderson’s Ten Year Vision. “Where are we going?” “How does what I do fit into the bigger picture?” This Vision addresses those questions and more. Hit the link and check out the post if you haven’t had a chance to yet.

We also hosted the first ever Andy Award Ceremony. The four winners were selected by you, their peers, for being great examples of the Anderson Cultural Values. Congrats to Sue Koch, Nathanael Ziegler, Aaron Armstrong, and Justin Drieling!

In celebration of these winners and their contribution to move the Cultural Values forward, they were flown to Chicago for an all-expenses paid shopping trip! An awesome time was had by all.

As the Cultural Values, Team, Humility, Empowerment, Motivation, Vision, Development, Effective Leadership, Balanced Life, and Trust, are lived out across the company, we will all have a front-row seat to seeing our Mission Because People Matter become a reality. Exciting times ahead! Thanks for everything you to move the team forward.

Grand Island Remodel

The Grand Island Ford Store looks quite a bit different if you haven’t seen it lately. The showfloor has recently been overhauled and has seen the addition of a new Sales Tower, customer tables, and new Sales Advisor desks. The whole room feels bigger and more spacious. The Service Team has some pretty sweet new gear as well. The new mobile lifts pictured will allow for greater flexibility in their work area.

The exterior of the building will also be seeing some major updates from Ford soon. We are working with an architect and have recently finalized blueprints for an enlarged showroom, new exterior signage, and the addition of a Quicklane. Check out the blueprints here. Exciting stuff!

Dream Factory Gift

The St. Joe Team just presented a $2,183 check to The Dream Factory of St. Joseph. Great stuff! The Dream Factory is an awesome organization involved in wish-granting for children afflicted with terminal and chronic illness. Check out their website to learn more about them. Our Charity Classic Car show was in benefit of the St. Joseph chapter and they presented us with a plaque of appreciation. Great job team!
