This was our final day at the King & Prince Resort in St. Simons Island of MetroPower’s strategic planning. Today’s meeting was centered around each branch’s goals, successes, and challenges for the remainder of this year and the future. We have enjoyed a couple of guest speakers such as Hamzah Shanbari of DysrUPtek and Robin Crawford-Thomas of Smyrna Diversity Consulting , Inc. As a bonding exercise between sessions, everyone competed in a cornhole tournament. We were divided into 7 teams. Duane Howell’s Salty Vibes team won, thanks in part to the awesome skills of Scott Williams and Doug Schultz who lead the team to victory. The winners chose their favorite charity, Cancer Ties, who will be awarded the grand prize. Afterward, 3 cornhole sets were auctioned off to the highest bidders among the other teams. The proceeds raised from the auction were split and will be donated to 3 more favorite charities. The amount raised by MetroPower’s managers and VPs in the cornhole tournament totaled over $19,000. Thanks to all who participated, your hearts are in the right place. #metropower #cancerties #cornhole #strategicplanning #kingandprinceresort

Help MetroPower support St. Jude, so they can provide help and care for families whose children are affected by Cancer and other terrible childhood diseases.

MetroPower started their Strategic Planning meeting with COO, Alberto Peluzzo welcoming everyone. This was the first of a two and a half day event at the King and Prince resort in St. Simon’s Island, GA. #metropower #strategicplanning

Today, even in the rain the Lee County High School ROTC came out to replace our Flag. Thankfully, we had an "All-weather" Flag. Much appreciation to these young men and women!

Remember and Honor!

Albany State University (ASU) fans are excited to start the 2024 Fall season at Valdosta State this Saturday, August 31st. The following week, the Golden Rams will return home to the ASU Coliseum against Shaw University of Raleigh, NC.  Fans will be pleasantly surprised when they see the Rams’ new field surface of blue and gold artificial turf on September 7th. Albany State was one of four Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to receive a 6.5-million-dollar grant from the Arthur Blank’s Family Foundation to purchase the new playing surface. Converted from natural grass to blue artificial turf, the coliseum’s field is stunning. The HBCU Invitational Field Refurbishment Program was designed to improve field quality, safety, and accessibility for students and local community groups. Typically mixed in the turf are crumb rubber and nut-fill fibers from walnuts. Artificial turf is known to provide more protection against concussions and physical injuries. In addition, it can drastically reduce water consumption and landscaping costs as well as provide easy maintenance. MetroPower was proud to prepare the field by wiring the turf boxes located at the sidelines and play clock to make electricity accessible for the media and their equipment. Golden Rams, head coach, Quinn Gray states “We’re very, very thankful for the Blank Family Foundation because this surface will allow us to really hone our skills… It’s a tremendous opportunity to play on one of the best surfaces around.” Gray’s team will practice on the new turf later this week. Fans will get a first-hand experience with the new blue and gold field, September 7th, at ASU’s home opener against Shaw. #metropower #albanystate #albanystateuniversity #asufootball #asurams #HBCU #ArthurBlankfamilyfoundation

Phoebe Healthcare System had quite a joint celebration with Albany Tech as they unveiled their beautiful Living & Learning Community here in Albany, GA. Thank you for investing in our healthcare and in our community. #metropower #phoebehealthcare

Last evening, Phoebe’s Living & Learning Community in conjunction with Albany Technical College held a ribbon cutting and grand opening hosted by the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce. This state-of-the-art facility will provide safe and supportive housing on the Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital’s campus while students pursue healthcare careers. The facility will also make academic resources and mentors available to students. This community and what it will provide is essential to foster an optimal learning environment for our next generation of healthcare professionals. The Living & Learning Community will result in long-term rewards for the Albany area and healthcare community.
