Well, Anne, we're just a couple weeks out from Manufacturing First, but also we're just a couple weeks out from the Excellence in Manufacturing K-12 Partnership Awards.

A

0:58

I am so excited.

A

1:00

I know I say this is my favorite one, but this is one of my favorite events that we do.

A

1:04

Yeah, I was going to say, we need to

K

1:05

make a list of Anne's favorite events.

K

1:08

I have a big list.

A

1:09

Well, you do so

K

1:10

many good events.

K

1:11

Well, thank

A

1:11

you.

A

1:11

But this is year 15.

A

1:14

Wow.

A

1:15

15 years of celebrating the amazing educators and manufacturers in our region.

A

1:21

And it's also a fundraiser for our organization, for our scholarship fund.

A

1:26

Yeah.

A

1:27

Between this and our President's Cup golf outing, which is another favorite because I like golfing, we have netted $65,000 this year to give to college students to help them with those expenses.

A

1:41

So I'm just so, so blessed to have such amazing people that we can celebrate.

A

1:48

And it's 15 years and we still have more to recognize.

K

1:53

Yeah.

K

1:53

No, it's always a great list every year.

K

1:55

And just attending the event, I would say, as an outsider, so to speak, is just always really motivating and heartwarming.

K

2:04

There's a lot of really heartwarming stories at that event.

K

2:07

So encourage people to check it out.

K

2:09

And we're really happy that our guest today on New Manufacturing Insights is one of the recipients of this year's awards.
