City Laundering Co. Holds Contest for Associates
Prizes Awarded at Employee Recognition Event

Amy Arthur won the grand prize of a $3,000 travel voucher. She has been with the company since 1984. Linda Franks, a City employee since 2000, won a Weber gas grill. Mark Burgin won a 50” big screen TV. He joined City Laundering in 2003.

Last spring, City Laundering created the yearlong 100th Anniversary contest for its employees. Goals were set for the employees’ positions that allowed them to obtain performance chips to enter into the contest’s Grand Prize drawings. The goals were based on performance, production requirements, safety meetings and attendance.

“The employees really seemed to enjoy the contest,” said Jean Kane, Plant Co-Manager. “Everyone did their best to earn entries into the drawings. It was a lot of fun, and the winners were thrilled with their prizes!”

In addition to the grand prizes, a name was drawn every month for a $50 award. The winning employee each month got to choose the restaurant for an appreciation lunch the following month.
