Despite losing every game, moral was kept high by our supportive friends and families on the sidelines cheering us on. We did, however, have lots of fun and participation from staff, and that was the main goal for this corporate tournament; so in that aspect, we did achieve something!

Special thanks to Sergio, team leader, for organizing everything and coaching the team. He is now looking for a full-time corporate league so that the team can practice teamwork and come back next year to win the tournament.

Honourable mentions to Corporate Champions Vancouver and its sponsors for organizing the event, and also to Totally Soccer for printing and delivering our soccer jerseys on such short notice.

The Olympic fever has hit the office strong and has been spreading faster than the contagious cold going around the office. This week our Director of Operations Accounting, Li Wei Xiao, brought in the Olympic torch her husband ran with. Below are some of the “Olympic game faces” the staff put on for pictures.

A recent photograph shows the team that started in 2000/2001, some of us with more hair, some of us with less, but still the same great group.

Lisa, according to a recent email, is “ready to put [her] blood, sweat, tears, and passion into the games” starting February 3rd.

During the games, Lisa will be helping out with logistics and will also serve as an assistant and guide to corporate executives. Judging by the excellent work she accomplishes here in the office day in and day out, I’m sure she’ll serve as a great representative for the games. Lisa hopes by the end of this tenure that she will be known, in her own words, as “the HOSTESS with the MOSTEST.”
