Employee appreciation night goes to the movies

Toy Story III and a barbecue chicken dinner at the Hanover Drive-in theatre was this year’s summer staff appreciation event for North Wellington Co-operative employees. Each year for the past four years, Kelly Boyle, general manager of North Wellington Co-operative Services has planned a mid-summer event that involves good food, entertainment and socializing for all employees and their families.

The co-operative rented out the Drive-in property making it exclusive to just the North Wellington Co-op group. More than 150 employees, their children and spouses came out for the evening. “It is not very often employees from each branch get to mingle and meet each other’s families like this,” says Boyle. “It helps connect the branches as one big team,” he adds.

A beautiful sunset was the entertainment even before the real show started at the Hanover Drive-In for North Wellington Co-op’s staff appreciation night.
