The Wellness Crew
So in my new position I have the great honor of coordinating the great crew that goes around the Island of Puerto Rico promoting wellness and good health. This is a picture of my crew with one of the managers from a local Walgreens. This manager was extremely cool and he even baught lunch for us!! Not alot of managers do that. And not just a fast food lunch, it was an authentic Puerto Rican lunch. We had local dishes with the local flavor. So while my crew is in Puerto Rico, I'm in Chicago processing all the paper work and making sure they're all good.
La Gira del Buen Vecino
Walgreens has 5 of the top 10 Walgreens stores in Puerto Rico! Can you believe that? Those Puerto Ricans sure do like their Walgreens. So it was only fitting that we would have a two month tour go around the enchanted island of Puerto Rico to promote wellness and good health. This tour offers free glucose, cholesterol, BMI, Blood pressure and bone density screenings...all valued at over $100! But it's a free service that Walgreens is giving to the community. Don't worry, the tour will tour the USA too! The picture is of our Coach vehicle where we do all the screenings.
New Year, New Job
Maybe I saw it coming, I mean, 2005 was the year of the Rooster. And 2005 had that "destined to be a great year in my life" feel, but at the end of 2005 I was offered a full time office position with Marketing Werks. So when 2006 rolled in I was already a full fledged Assistant Accoutn Coordinator for our Walgreens promotion. The picture you see is of the building I work in. I'm on the 30th floor and have a great view of Navy Pier and the lake. If you ever want to meet up for lunch, the address is 111 East Wacker Drive, it's on the corner of Michigan and Wacker. Just please check in with the security desk.
