NEW ULM — Becon Promotions celebrated its 15 year anniversary last week with many fun events. Employees played some games, had some special treats and lunches catered in, employees were in drawings to win some Corporate Gift prizes and more. It was a fun and festive week for all to participate and celebrate this milestone. Some retirees also returned to visit and Beacon recognized the 15 employees who have been with the company for all 15 years.

Employees who have been with Beacon all 15 years include: Rani Archerd, Gail Bertrand, Gwen Brey, Frank Forstner, Mike Joswick, Julie Mathiowetz, Sharon Menssen, Cheryl Nessett, Brett Olsen, Dawn Schapekahm, Sharon Schiffelhuber, Angie Shaul, Dan Tauer, Sarah Trebesch and Amy Wendinger.

One of Beacon’s long-term employees is battling cancer. Daily raffles were held for additional PTO hours and a silent auction was held with all the proceeds going to help defray her expenses. The Beacon employees were very generous with their donations and bids on the silent auction items.

Beacon was honored to have special guests from all HUB Promotional Group companies in New Ulm to help with the celebration and festivities, such as Joe Fleming and Kim Hayes from HUB Pen, Mike Hicks from BEST and Alex Morin and Sergio Munoz from Debco, as well as Bob Dibetta from Tenex Capital Management.
