Ohio
What a day we had at Cedar Point. The sun the was shining, a slight breeze blew in the air and CTL employees and their families celebrated CTL's successes and come together as a team. The outing was mostly comprised of CTL's Ohio offices (Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Wapakoneta and Minford), but a staggering 80% of our Indianapolis office participated. Thanks for making that long trip!!

North Carolina
Fourteen (14) of us from the Durham office enjoyed an afternoon at Rollingview State Recreation area at Falls Lake in Durham. In a shaded picnic shelter on a very hot day we ate lunch catered by Honeybaked Ham, went swimming at the beach, played games, drew for gift certificates from Wal Mart, Applebees, Home Depot and Honeybaked Ham and enjoyed pontoon rides around the lake for most of the afternoon. We just basically had a laid back and relaxing afternoon.

There was an exciting time while we were out on the lake and the "captain" of the pontoon tried to sink the ship.....as a matter of fact it happened twice. A lot of screaming was heard (I think I was the loudest) but all was well when we understood that a pontoon boat cannot be sunk. WHEW ! ! ! Can you guess who the "captain" was?

West Virginia
CTL Engineering of West Virginia recently attended a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We boarded a bus at the Morgantown office and spent the hour-long bus ride eating, drinking, and being merry. The bus was loaded with snacks and drinks provided by the Funczar Committee (thanks). We spent this time getting to know each other outside the confines of CTL. Once at the ballpark, we found are very good seats along the first baseline and proceeded to watch a terrific baseball game (if you're a Pirates fan). The game pitted the Atlanta Braves vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates and saw a young, inexperienced Pirate team dominate the mighty Braves by the score of 3 to 1. As icing on the cake, it was fireworks night at the park. We got to see about 20 minutes worth of fireworks before returning to the bus and heading back to West Virginia. We all had a great time.
