Bowling for Big Brothers Big Sisters

The Picante crew of Laura, Kathryne and Amanda (just back from her honeymoon) was joined by Lori from Elemental and loyal spouse Allan, to participate in Bowl for a Kid's Sake for Big Brothers Big Sisters. We raised over $900 for this important organization who do so much for kids in Winnipeg. We had an awesome time and proudly wore our Just Slow Down T-shirts to keep promoting this important initiative.

Thanks to all who donated. We really do appreciate your support.

Just Slow Down

On February 13th we were part of the exciting launch of Just Slow Down, the new Winnipeg Police Service speed reduction campaign. I will be adding photos here asap.

After tremendous media interest at the 11 am launch, Staff Sergeant Mark Hodgson, paramedic Dan Herzog and courageous parent Rick Piana were guests with Charles Adler on Adler online. Then on the following Tuesday, Mark and Rick joined Mayor Sam Katz on CFRW's Talk to the Mayor show.

We were thrilled when the WREA donated their electronic readerboard on Portage Avenue to the Just Slow Down campaign and then John Hoeschen from Zero Din offered up the electronic sign at the Winnipeg Winter Club. Bus tails began appearing at the beginning of the week and the tv spots are running. Anyone interested should check out http://www.justslowdown.ca/.

Can't say enough about the support from Elemental Motion Media and the great job done, as usual, by Energy Productions.

Amanda's long-awaited wedding.

The whole Picante crew ( and Denise of course)were treated to Amanda and Jeff's wonderful wedding. Amanda, our incredible art director, has been planning this wing ding for 2 1/2 years and it was worth the wait! The bride looked amazing! The groom, debonair and charming as always. The bride and her father performed an unbelievable song and dance number. And the whole Picante crew danced the night away. Amanda and Jeff are off to their honeymoon on the Mayan Riviera and we are going to do our best to get along without her. Cheers to Cherrie for stepping up to the plate and working a mile a minute to keep up. Take a breath from time to time ok Cherrie?!
