An item I forgot to post last fall at the exact time it happened.

In Nov. of 2015 we went to Stockholm to attend the Electrolux awards banquet. Last fall Mary was asked to attend this years banquet that was being held in Charlotte NC in Oct. She was busy and couldn’t go and didn’t see the need to send someone from China to attend, that is until 2 or 3 weeks before the event that they insisted that Sepstar-ETI be represented. As a result I was elected to go.
So I get in the car and drive to Charlotte and stay at the big hotel. Late in the day of the event I put on a suit and get on the bus at the hotel and go to the Electrolux NA Headquarters to stand around an talk to people with name tags. Come to find out the reason we needed to be there was that Sepstar had been nominated again and was one of 3 companies in the supplier innovation category. So we listened to Electrolux high rollers tell us how good they were and then got on more buses to go to a downtown artsy convention center to stand around and drink wine, look at art and talk to people with name tags. After an hour of that we went upstairs to have food and get the show started. We ate something brown, something white, and something green and finally our category came around. Last year we didn’t win and I expected the same this year but when the winner was announce to great fanfare, we won. Now that meant I had go up and collect the award, give a speech and have a picture taken. This was just like being at one of those big time award shows except instead of sharing the stage with attractive actress ladies or nice singing ladies I got to share the stage with these guys…

after wowing the crowd with wonderful manufacturing stories and humor.

The award is now back in China where it belongs although there was the temptation to keep it here.

The crescent shaped parts of the logo are loose and I’ve decided that you could us it as a plate/bowl to hold peanut M&M’s so that you would always have a supply of a delicious snack available.
