Employee Appreciate Day 2009
Randy Reed, owner of Reed’s Marine held a surprise Employees Appreciation Breakfast for his staff on Wednesday morning in his parking lot.
Complete with fried bacon, scrambled eggs and waffles with blueberries made by Randy to the surprise of his staff. Many locals stopped by just to see what was going on and to see what all the smiling faces were about.
It is not often Heidi gets a call at 8:00 a.m. asking her to cover such a positive and exciting event as a boss making breakfast. "I know each one of Randy’s employees and this event truly warmed my heart to spend time with such a great group of Manson friends. And boy did the food smell yummy on this sunny spring morning in Manson."

Owner, Randy Reed shares some thoughts with you our GoLakeChelan readers about Reed’s Marine and his outstanding Team member’s:
“In 08 we were focused on our diversities pulling us through a tough economic year. Recently after getting my year end report from my CPA and seeing our team not only made it through 2008 we also came extremely close to 2007’s numbers, which is incredible considering the economy then verses 08, I had every reason to celebrate the success of my employees!
This is what the Employee Appreciation Breakfast was all about. Celebrating the success not only of Reed’s Marine but the success due to my amazing staff!
For 09 we will continue to focus on our diversities and all of us pulling together to remain efficient by not spending unless it is necessary and running lean and mean. The goal is for Reed’s Marine to pull out another year, strong as ever. We are starting 09 with a larger, more experienced team who extend outstanding customer service to our loyal customers. Our team gives to me the freedom to walk away knowing they will perform all their tasks with out me having to worry whenI am gone on other business tasks.
I strongly believe in a rewards system and never take advantage of the fact that when someone is doing their best to shine that they are rewarded accordingly.”
