RED HEAT, RED MEAT & RED VELVET

Blake Here: While  this post really has nothing to do with the 1988 Schwarzenegger / Belushi cop flick I needed another "RED" something and  mother nature turned up the temperature to the higher degrees, plus it rhymes, therefore, it's suitable.  After much time spent igniting newspapers, wasting matches, burning through a lighter, and dousing the stubborn charcoals with an entire bottle of lighter fluid, mike, marissa, and I finally got JKR's first BBQ of the season started on the Thursday afternoon of May26th as that first cold piece of raw bison burger meat hit the heat on that grill.  The back sweat was flowing, the fire was burning, the burgers were cooking, and with the dynamite execution Sam had the place set not just for the consumption of mass quantities of goodness but for the real reason all this was being done, to honor the many years of hard work, dedication, and kind heartedness provided both in and outside the office by the one Miss Lauren Ulmer.  Lauren you will be missed by us all and we wish you nothing but the best with your upcoming move and future endeavors.  Thanks for all you've done for the firm and each of us here at JKR Partners, we'll miss you, good luck and stay in touch.

Penn Lighting - Lightfair International 2011

 

Paul Here: Tuesday a full cast of JKR Partners attended Penn Lighting Associate's reception at the Philadelphia Reading Terminal Market as part of Lightfair International's annual Trade Show and Conference event. Live music performance by 61 North, plenty of food and spirits, as well as a visit from the Phillie Phanatic, (although his presence would have been better served in Saint Louis that night), were on tap. Glenn W., Matt, Jon, Lauren U., Mike I., and myself  took in the sights, sounds and tastes of Philadelphia.

Second Saturday Art Show

A handful of JKR team members found their way to Yogawood in Collingswood, NJ this past weekend in support of Mike Izzo and his sketch exhibit. Mike's display was part of Collingswood's "Second Saturday" arts and entertainment event. We expect more opportunities to view Mike's work and witty sense of humor.
