Celebrating team members with a game show

The Showroom played host to more than 800 Team Members and guests for the first-ever, Team Member Game Show. The show was a great opportunity to educate Team Members about the Power Millions Game Show for Club members, and honor specific groups of Team Members:

January Caught You Caring recipients, 5-Year Anniversary celebrants, and Perfect Attendance Award recipients from the previous year.

Before the game show started, Team Members (especially those 35 and over) were treated to music from a live band, followed by a crowd-pleasing performance by R&B singer/songwriter, Jeffrey Osborne, whose popularity peaked in the early ‘80s with hits like “On the Wings of love” and “You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)”.

Team Members randomly selected from the audience had a chance to win up to $25,000. Over 100 Team Members walked away with gifts and prizes, but the grand prize winner was David Fernando, Facilities, who won a total of $2,550.

Similar to the Team Member Pick The Pros game, the Marketing Department negotiated with the game show producer to include the cost of a Team Member version of the Power Millions Game Show, including the cash prizes. The Marketing Department will continue to look for opportunities like these to keep Team Members informed about promotions for our guests, and provide ways for Team Members to win prizes and have fun at work.

Team Member Recipe - Thai Style Steak Salad

Serves 4

• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime/lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Splenda
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lb. flank/skirt steak
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1/2 pound carrots (3 to 4 medium)
• 1 medium head romaine lettuce, cut crosswise into 1-inch ribbons
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup fresh bean sprouts (optional)

1. Make marinade: In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, Splenda, red-pepper flakes, and oil. Season steak with salt and pepper; place
in a baking dish. Pour 1/4 of marinade over steak (reserve remaining marinade); turn steak to coat. Let steak marinate up to 30 minutes.

2. In a large skillet, cook steak on medium-high heat, turning once, 1 1/2 - 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 5
to 10 minutes. Slice steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices; halve slices crosswise. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with reserved marinade.

With a vegetable peeler, cut carrots into long ribbons. Add to steak in bowl, along with lettuce and mint; toss to combine.
