Congratulations to Leroy and Margaret Bean

Anniversary Announcement from the Pilot News, Wednesday, July 17, 2011

All of us at Easterday Construction Co., Inc. would like to congratulate Leroy and Margaret Bean on 50 years of marriage this week.  Leroy and Margaret were part of the Easterday Construction family for over 40 years when Leroy retired.  Leroy started here October 1st, 1961 as a truck driver and retired as a Site Superintendent demonstrating the potential for advancement in a Merit Shop company.  We’ve been proud to watch Leroy become an active community volunteer in his retirement, working dilegently with the Lions Club, the Grace United Church of Christ and recently serving on the Culver Park Board.

Best wishes to Leroy and Margaret for many more happy years!   There will be a reception for Leroy and Margaret at the Vandalia Railroad Station in Culver on July 30, 2011 from 1 to 5 pm.

Just for fun, you can see a reprint of an employee profile on Leroy from The Easterday Parade, our now defunct company newsletter here.  This profile appeared in the Vol. I, No. 6, October 1990.

Red Fridays

You might notice some bright red shirts on Easterday Construction Co., Inc.  job sites this summer.  This is because we’re participating in Red Fridays to support the troops.  You can check in here to learn more.   We purchased ours through Triple Crown Products if you are interested in participating. 

A portion of the proceeds goes to the Wounded Warrior Project.   Their mission, “To honor and empower wounded warriors.”

Our employees are participating in this on a strictly voluntary basis.  Everyone got a shirt, but it’s up to them if they want to wear it.  (Though this past Friday, everyone that had a red shirt on got a $5 on the spot bonus.  Ha!)  It is a “support the troops” effort and not any kind of political statement.  It seemed like a positive way to show our patriotism around the 4th of the July and to promote some camradery on the jobsites with a simple give-away.  Consider checking out the Wounded Warrior Project, the USO or Bugles Across America.  All good organizations that support our troups and their families at home and abroad.

Congratulations to Russell Voss

Congratulations to Russell Voss for successfully completing OSHA 10 Hour Safety Training through Associated Builders and Contractors of Indiana (ABC).  Easterday Construction is committed to safety and we appreciate Russell stepping up to take this training.  We look forward to his help in keeping our job sites safe.

Destiny’s Wish

Easterday Construction was happy to help with the preliminary planning and estimating for Destiny’s project.  We have offered to contribute some additional overstock materials as well if they will help.  We want to wish the other volunteers the best as they embark on this project.  We also sincerely hope that Destiny gets her wish and enjoys it immensely!
