Happy New Year 2011!

Here’s hoping everyone in the Easterday Construction Co., Inc. family, those we have met, those that we have affected and those that have affected us, have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!  Let your hair down and Bang Your Head!  It’s a new year with all its promise of better things to come. 

Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday to Bob Cooper

Bob is celebrating a Birthday today.  He informed me today that as of this Birthday, he has been with Easterday Construction as long as he hasn’t!  Ha!  Bob has been a Superintendent for us for nearly a decade and an employee for much longer than that.  I count on him for his expertice in several fields.  Not only that, but he has been with Easterday Construction longer than I have so he knows where a lot of things are hidden.  (Easterday’s has been here since the 1920’s, so even Bob doesn’t know where everything is.  Four generations of pack rats have accumulated a lot.) 

Bob was the mystery Citizen in the Culver Citizen last week.  He’s pretty easy to recognize.  He is the third Easterday Construction employee (that I know of) to be featured.  I’ve been featured twice and Leroy Bean made an appearance as well.  (If there is another former employee that has appeared that you know of, let me know.)

Congratulations to Andrea Cook and The Midas Center

Congratulations to Andrea Cook and The Midas Center  on their move to their new location at 200 North Michigan Street in Plymouth.  I attended their Reception on December 17th and it was interesting to see their progress and the various people, some of them old friends, that are involved and were there to help them.

I initially connected to Andrea through her position on the Culver Redevelopment Commission.  She has become quite active in the Culver and Plymouth Communities through her business at The Midas Center as well as her two community promotion sites, iHEARTplymouth and iHEARTculver.  I have consulted with Andrea and her husband Phil on the status of the historic building they have purchased and we are working with them on a restoration project at the site.
