Tammy Neupert (Box Office) – Tammy acted independently and helped clean up a huge mess of broken glass the recycling company left behind. Without being told, after Tammy saw the disaster, she found a broom and started cleaning up the mess. The Box Office was not busy at the time and I was so impressed that she went out of her way to clean it up. She helped keep her co-workers safe by cleaning it up since this mess was right outside the employee entrance and kept any further tires from being flat from other vendors that may have had to back up into that area to deliver supplies or food that night or the next morning. This was not something that was expected of her or required it could have been left for maintenance to do the next day, but she proactively cleaned it up which was way beyond her job of answering the telephone. Tammy has also helped our chef with inventory tracking during down times in the box office. We appreciate this kind of work ethic, where no job is too small. Tammy has shown she is willing to help all departments. When we all work together and help in all areas of the business is when we see great things happen. Tammy has only been working at The Fireside for three months so far and she’s learned the box office position, helping with inventory forms, helps where needed, and is now learning package in the box office. She’s a quick study and loves to keep busy no matter what department she’s helping.

Reggie Piirto (Guest Services) –Reggie is a great employee; he is always happy to be here! Reggie is willing to help wherever he can and goes above and beyond to make sure the guests are taking care of. Besides the normal guest service duties Reggie will help with anything asked of him, and he even will volunteer to help, like extra house managing shifts. Recently he went above and beyond to help a sick guest, he took care of everything they needed and his wife called in to rave about the superior service they received. Reggie is a great role model for the other staff and is very deserving of this award.
