Week 5

The Macker Team Becomes Macker Family

Week 5 was very busy for the Macker clan. We began class on Thursday discussing our animation plan for the Launch Party. After working out the details surrounding decorating, auction tiers, drink specials, and times we received enough sugar to make the next part of class even more interesting. We all filed out of the classroom to the rock wall just down the hall in Finch Fieldhouse for some good old fashioned team bonding. 

I have a lot of pictures and videos, and I think they all speak for themselves on the fun we had last Thursday, so I'll touch on this lightly and let you enjoy. On our first day team bonding we got to know each other and that was helpful. This time around we were supporting each other, cheering each other on, and celebrating accomplishments. No one lacked a climbing buddy or cheer squad. The energy in the room was really something special, and I sincerely hope it can be felt through the pictures. Our time team bonding has truly transformed us from class to team and from team to Macker family. 

Team bonding wasn't the only fun thing happening this week either. Last Saturday was a record breaking Polar Plunge for Special Olympics! Of course we were all over that event, we even had our logo on the back of the shirt this year. Fifteen of our classmates took the plunge into 42 degree water on one of the warmest days of February I think Michigan has ever seen. It was a blast and we all had a great time promoting what Gus Macker is all about!

If you are intrigued by how cool we are now that you've read this really long post, you can come hang out with us and be cool too! Our Launch Party is this Thursday starting at 7 p.m. As mentioned before we will have a tiered silent auction, drink specials, and a really cool photo booth. We look forward to seeing you there!

As always, you can also follow us on social media, and I highly recommend it for more behind the scenes sweetness!
