A great big

‘Thank You’ to

Deb

Ethington,

C/G Bev Cart

Specialist, for

her display of

Teamwork and

Integrity last week. Last Friday night,

two sets of golf clubs were delivered to

the Range House well after shipping

time and office hours. Deb noticed the

clubs sitting out in the open and took it

upon herself to store them in the back

of the Range House restaurant for

safe keeping until the office reopened.

No one requested this of her, she just

did it. Way to go, Deb. Thank you

for being a great partner!

The summer Good Life Challenge that is going on right now across the Mountain has over 45 participants of all ages and fitness levels. It’s not always easy to get to the gym or get up before the birds, sun and heat to take a jog outside—we get it. That’s why we have

two (2) awesome staff right here at Sonoran who are teaching fitness classes, specifically for our employees participating in the Challenge. These classes are tough, they’re fun and they

are on property. For the past month (and continuing through August), these ladies have been creating time in their already busy class schedules to motivate, encourage and, basically, kick our bottoms on a weekly basis. Therefore, I want to give a big shout out to Kelly Montana

(Total Body Conditioning & Yoga Instructor) and Amy Dolinky (Pilates Instructor) for their Spirit to Serve and challenge their fellow co-workers.
