The heat here in Eugene hasn't slowed us down at Limelight Department - but don't think we did contemplate once or twice about holding business meetings in the Willamette river : )

Earlier this week Zack Poelwijk - one of our amazing account executives - got the opportunity to visit the Oregon Air & Space Museum near the Eugene Airport on Monday, and was lucky enough to get a private tour from the operations manager Tom. Zack spoke enthusiastically about the knowledge Tom had about all the planes and artifacts in the museum. The museum holds such fascinating planes including fighter jets used in WWI, Vietnam, Korea plus much more.

"There was a story for each plane and he was so informative on the history of aviation and space technology," Zack said.

For those who didn't know the Oregon Air & Space Museum also holds the world's largest model plane exhibit of over 1,000 planes built by a single person. We are excited at Limelight Department at the prospect to be working with the Oregon Air & Space Museum in the future.



We love learning new things about Eugene and also we enjoy helping out the community, lucky for us we managed to get the opportunity do both this last week. One of our employees had the chance to represent Limelight Department in a charity golf game hosted by Servpro who is a fire & water cleanup restoration business. The golf game was held at Diamond Woods Golf Course to raise money for the benefit of the American Red Cross. There were eight teams of 18 players and of course the Servpro team put on their game faces and won the day's event. Servpro held Raffles and give-aways to raise money for the Red Cross at the event. Win or lose the day was a successful event that raised money for a great cause.

In other news our team is super pumped to also be heading out this evening to the Young Professionals Network: Hot August Cajun Night sponsored by Evergreen Land Title Company in Eugene. The event is held with the Eugene Chamber of Commerce and is a chance for young local professionals to meet one another and network. It is a great opportunity for some of us here at Limelight Department to be attending and we always look forward to meeting new faces in the community.
