We celebrated the Key Recognition winners from the past six months!  Check out the video to see the fun that ensued! 

After 27 years, Lynn retired from the marketing department at West Bend with her whole family surrounding her.  Her infectious smile and sense of humor will be missed.  Thank you for your hard work and dedication.  Enjoy your retirement!

West Bend made the 40 Best Companies in Financial Services by Great Places to Work and Fortune based on our associates' feedback!  Read what our associates had to say:  http://reviews.greatplacetowork.com/west-bend-mutual-insurance-company 

Today we are celebrating big time as two wonderful associates, Marge and Donna, are retiring! Marge has been with us for 31 years and Donna, 44! By the show of tears, you will be greatly missed. Enjoy every minute of your retirement! Thank you!  

It's been a rough season for the Door County Sled Dogs with illnesses and not a lot of snow!  Our Celebrating Cultures Committee held a supply drive to help them out.  The associates at West Bend never cease to amaze.  Loads of doggy items and other crucial supplies, including monetary donations, were brought in.  The dogs stopped by to pick up all of the donations and were so grateful!  

A huge thank you to Sam from the Personal Ancestry File Users Group for sharing his in-depth knowledge of researching your family history during our lunch and learn today. He shared some personal stories about his and his wife's 20-year genealogical journey in tracing their families. Incredible!

One of our associates, Brenda, is a recent Key Recognition winner. Our Key Recognition program allows associates to nominate each other for key actions taken, key behaviors demonstrated or key accomplishments. As a winner, Brenda had the option of choosing an extra PTO day, a gift card, preferred parking, and a few other things for herself. The other option West Bend offers is to make a charitable donation of $250 to an organization of the winner's choosing. Brenda chose Hospice in Fond du Lac "because of their passionate care they gave to my mother who was dying of cancer," she said. They stepped up and above what they would have needed to do for our family." Congratulations to both of you!

Just like every where you go in Wisconsin, you'll find die-hard Packers fans.  West Bend is no exception!  Packers gear is always in full force.
