Wake Up! Waukesha

Jay, who has lived in the Waukesha area for over 20 years, is an active volunteer who has served on numerous local boards and committees. He's married to Colleen with three kids having gone through the Waukesha schools. He is the VP of a local distribution company.

My next career?

On Tuesday May 12th, 2009, I gave my best in trying to duplicate the incredible work done on a minute-by-minute basis at your local Culver's location.

It was "Culvers Cares" day of giving and the Waukesha Education Foundation is the fortunate recipient of 10% of the days' proceeds from Gary and Jill Beres's Culvers on Hwy 164 as well as Sunset, and Greg Howes' store on Grandview.

Waukesha School Superintendent Todd Gray and I ran orders out to and bussed tables during Tuesday's lunch hour. And while it was fun to join this high-energy crew for a bit, my firm belief is we slowed them down a bit.

Now our snappy rapport with the customers undoubtedly helped mask our shortcomings as servers, but that would not work day after day. Todd and I both recognize brilliance in execution, and that happens seamlessly at Culvers.

Thank you Culvers! You are great employers providing a positive work environment for employees of all ages. Your dedication to charitable causes is almost legendary, and the Waukesha Community is a better place because you are here.

Gary, Jill, and Greg - You truly embody the spirit of giving. Your selection of the WEF for Culver's Cares Day is greatly appreciated!

(And I will continue in my present career for the foreseeable future...)
