Talk about an adventurous work outing! We grabbed our kayaks and hit the Buffalo River for a fun-filled afternoon of paddling. After our excursion the Watts team hit @BuffaloRiverworks for a well-deserved happy hour. Cheers to amazing teamwork and unforgettable memories! 🌊🎉 #WorkHardPlayHard #TeamOuting #KayakingAdventures #HappyHourFun #buffalony #wny

We're only a few weeks into Summer 2024, but we've been having a great time making the most of the sunny days and exciting happenings in town. We kicked off the season with a rooftop cook-out in our Buffalo office, then got our hearts pumping by participating in the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge at Delaware Park. And let's not forget about the rewarding experience of giving back to our community by helping out at Urban Christian Ministries' space for United Way's Day of Caring. We've been having a blast, and we can't wait to see what July and August have in store for us! Keep up with us on our News page of the website: https://lnkd.in/eJAqmJw2 Speaking of Summer, we're curious to know: what are the top kayaking spots in and around Buffalo? Please share any recommendations! #summertime #givingback #community #wny
