Junior Designer, Audrey Harkness, earned the 2022 Needham Avery Award for Achievement in Art and Design during her last semester at Lagrange College. It is a purchase award granted annually in visual arts, provided by Dr. and Mrs. R.M. Avery, in memory of their son. Audrey was selected to receive this award for her artistic ability!
She also had the honor of sharing some of her work during an art show at the Lamar-Dodd Art Center at Lagrange College. Audrey had several unique handmade ceramic vases and brochures on display and several supporters came to visit.
Audrey has been an asset to the marketing team and the company has a whole since she first joined us in August 2021. Her talent in graphic design, bubbly personality, and ambition to learn and take on new tasks made it easy for us to offer her a full-time position upon graduation.
We are thankful to have her and excited to see where this journey takes us.

Round of Applause for Devin Dents!
|
Mrs. Yolanda Dozier, Accountant, has some proud news to share about her son, Devin. Devin was recently accepted into his college of choice, Morehouse College, in Atlanta, GA. He intends to major in psychology at Morehouse and become a pediatric psychiatrist.
He is a recent graduate of Lagrange High School and his hobbies include writing and mixed martial arts. He is currently ranked a purple belt in martial arts and he enjoys participating in writing contests. He placed 3rd in the 2022 Optimist Club of Lagrange essay contest and won the 2021 Troup County Family Engagement essay contest. He also represented LHS Art Department as a contestant for Mr. LHS, and mentors younger students through Dr. Tucker and the Calumet Park Association.
Devin is a member of the NAACP Civil Rights Organization and a Chairperson on the Lagrange Youth Council. Recently, LGTV interviewed Devin on one of his projects, Pat's Garden. Patricia Underwood, owner of Pat's Corner Store on Union Street was shot and killed in February 2020 when a stray bullet went through her store. Through the Lagrange Youth Council, Devin came up with the idea for an "I Sweat Green" Fun Run Fundraiser to raise money for a community garden in honor of her. The fun run was hosted in April on The Thread and all proceeds went towards Calumet Park neighborhood's community garden, Pat's Garden. "In honor of Underwood's great dedication for the community, we raised $1,200 for the garden" Dents said, which is set to begin construction very soon.
What an incredible young man. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Saturday Dinner in Europe

“Our Chairman, Dave Murray, has been assisting our executive team on matters like continued development of our supply chain and new business opportunities. Both objectives landed him in Eastern Europe recently. Most new businesses require start up capital to fuel the wheels of commerce. Dave met with some key fund managers in Belgrade, Serbia recently to discuss some of the potential businesses focused on making our futures brighter. This group shared the afternoon together, culminating in a delicious meal.”

Welcome to the Team!
|
The Project Support team has a new member; Caitlin Brown. Caitlin came from Childcare Network as an Assistant Director. She is a Lagrange resident and working at the daycare was an amazing opportunity for her to be there with her children. She heard about the project support associate position at MGroup through a current employee and applied. Outside of spending time with her family, she enjoys camping, trail riding, gardening, and cooking. We have enjoyed getting to know our newest team member!
Eric Reissig joined our team as a Project Manager. Eric previously worked for Roma Tile and Marble as a scheduler and installer. Prior to that, he worked as a Purchasing Manager at RB Woodcraft for 5 years. He first interviewed with MGroup in July 2020 and was strongly considered for a position, but at that time, there was not one available. His years of experience in millwork, project management, purchasing, and stone/countertops led MGroup to reach out again and this time, offer him a position. Eric currently lives in New York with his wife and 5 children. He enjoys hiking, golfing, cooking, and learning the saxophone. We are excited to have him on our team.
We've also welcomed Kelsey Moorer to our team as a Sales Consultant. Kelsey has experience in the hospitality, senior living, and multi-family industries that we serve as well as short-term luxury rentals, healthcare, and retail. She found MGroup at a hospitality conference she was attending. A close contact introduced her to Bo, and he sold her on what MGroup was and our amazing team dynamic! Kelsey graduated from The University of Alabama and currently lives in Atlanta. She has two dogs; a maltipoo named Luna and a rescue Pekingese/Japanese Chin named Milo. In her free time, she likes watching Grey's Anatomy, playing Wordle, cooking and meal prepping, reading, light fitness, listening to true-crime podcasts, and cuddling her dogs. Fun fact: she was in the movie "Meet the Parents". We welcome our new team member and are excited to watch her grow within our company.
