Happy New Merry Holidays
Happy New Merry Holidays
The Lebermuth team gathered at the South Bend Country club on Dec. 16th to celebrate the holidays, our 104th birthday, and the outstanding service and achievements of many of our key team members. The night began with music and drinks and the realization that our customer service department may spend too much time together, (they, along with our President’s wife AJ, matched almost a little too well…)

Conversation continued to sparkle as we found our tables and dinner was served. There are many things that excite us at Lebermuth, and good food is no exception, so much so that we gave out a Top Chef award to Cesar who works in our Blending Department, (he has made our end of summer cookouts legendary).

Toward the end of dinner Rob Brown gave his State of Lebermuth address. He had us laughing, clapping and almost at tears as he recognized our fearless shipping coordinator Barb Butler for her 20 years of service on “his team” and by the time he thanked his father, Irv Brown, grandson of founder Morris Brown, for his contributions and leadership over the last 60 years we were all on our feet. Altogether over 10 team members were recognized for their contributions and service.

Barb (pictured with her other half) is a huge part of the reason orders
get out the door so fast. Congratulations on 20 years!
We like to celebrate and since it was a party we also handed out some for-the-fun-of-it awards including most likely to live through Survivor, Ed Fuchs, and most likely to win America’s Got Talent, Big John, who probably has a real last name, but no one except HR is really sure what it is.
Ed with his "Survival" Trophy, we aren't sure
what the Kung Fu Trophy Guy on top is doing
but we're sure Ed can handle it!!
America's Got Talent Winner! There are so many
potential entry categories for Big John, the
internet doesn't have room to list them all...
This guys attitude is something that gets talked about... Mike, our Mishawaka
warehouse manager, was was recognized by his co-workers for his postitive
and helpful attitude. Congratulations Mike!
We aren't really sure what would happen if Angie
wasn't part of our team, and we don't want to think
about it! We truly appreciate your efforts and
keeping us all straight!
After dinner the party continued with our traditional Secret Santa gift exchange which always promises to be filled with laughter. Last year I got a Snuggie, which was perfect since I had been “relocated” to an office off the warehouse and this year’s gifts certainly didn’t disappoint! Our DJ Mr. Jackson, begun spinning tunes and soon had everyone out on the floor for the Cupid Shuffle and thinking that maybe a 10 O’clock morning break time dance off might just be what we need Mondays to get the blood flowing. Dancing and laughing finished the night off with “Happy Holidays” and “Happy New Year” still ringing in the air we made our way out into the crystal clear, moonlit winter night.

Whatever Steve N. is talking about he believes Rob has it. "This Guy!"
"Kick now kick now walk it by yo self walk it by yo self" (There are no actual photos of
us doing the Cupid Shuffle, because we were ALL doing it!)
If we ever open a Lebermuth Bakery... Jan keeps our breakroom
stocked with holiday treats to die for from peppermint patties to cookies
and my personal favorite, Cranberry Nut Bread.
Such a great evening, apparently reminding a few us of Prom ^^^! 
From All of Us to All of You, Happy New Year!
